My Students

Our students are go getters and incredibly curious. They have worked so hard to overcome the obstacles that distance learning and COVID have put in their place. Each time a curveball is thrown at them, they respond with determination to overcome the task.

They love to learn and get excited when they see what they're learning in school connect to the world around them.

My Project

These resources will allow students to get their own copy of the book to take home with them if needed and to show students how science and English connect. This will allow them to apply their knowledge in multiple subject areas.

We have done this in the past with our GT students and kids are super engaged and apply principles learned in science to the book we are reading as a class.

Kids get so engaged that they cannot wait to read the second book. This is part of the reason we chose to do a book with a sequel.
