My Project

My 6th-grade students are incredibly curious and have many questions about the content we are learning. While engaging, our curriculum does not have a lot of consistent opportunities to have students read.

These books will be used as supplemental resources for quiet choice reading days, allowing students to choose science-related books that interest them to work on their reading skills AND learn some science!

The selected books are all related to the content we are covering in 6th-grade science and include very popular series such as the "Magic School Bus" and "Magic Tree House" books.
