My Students

Our first-grade students always walk into the door on day one ready to learn! They are so excited to be at school with peers learning lots of new material. Their enthusiasm is contagious!

We began an amazing new science curriculum this year and the students are engaging in exciting hands-on experiments.

They explore, question, and write about their experiments just like true scientists do. Anytime I announce that it is time for science, a cheer breaks out in the classroom!

My Project

In order to extend knowledge above and beyond the new science curriculum's interactive experiments and hands-on materials, I would love to be able to provide read aloud books to share with the class that tie into the curriculum.

By contributing to this project, you will provide lots of books to our class that directly relate to our science experiments and curriculum to deepen the students' science knowledge.

For example, during our unit on air and weather, I have asked for many weather related books to read aloud throughout the unit.

All students love a good read aloud and based on the interest in science that my students have already shown, they will absolutely consume any science read aloud books!
