My Project

This is a learning opportunity for my students to learn more about nature topic. My goal is to provide my students with sets of books to explore and foster a love of reading and a deeper understanding of the world around them. Students not only will read these fiction and non-fiction books, they will also be applying their knowledge and skill and use in the real life situations. I am certain that my students will be more excited about learning through hands-on experiences and outdoor exploration, students can appreciate the beauty and diversity of nature, fostering a sense of wonder and awe. making the connection from text to nature and outdoor activities.

Studying nature and the Earth allows my students to develop a stronger connection to the natural world.
