The Disappearing Spoon: Increasing Panda Literacy in Science
Help me give my students the opportunity to increase vocabulary and literacy skills while reading amusing anecdotes about scientists who contributed to discovering elements on the periodic table. This would be a class set to read in class.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Welling's classroom raised $358

My Students
My Pandas come from all backgrounds. I love their ability to adapt to new situations especially after covid and on line learning. It feels so great to be back in face to face and they are excited and ready for projects and reading in science class!
My Project
Class set of age appropriate humorous stories relating to the scientists who helped identify the elements on the periodic table. Add humor and real world connections to our learning. I am hoping this will bring students back to basics, not use technology as a support and increase literacy skills as well as fluency.
Add humor and real world connections to our learning.
They can also be used to spark creativity, communication and stewardship. If funded we can also share with other science classes and compare stories using choice boards. Thank you
Nearly all students from low‑income households
