FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Reynolds's classroom raised $303

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am currently a third grade social studies and science teacher at our elementary school. Our scholars are some of the brightest in the city! In science, we like to make science fun by participating in hands-on learning labs to understand real-life concepts.

We are weathering the learning storm through reading!

Help support our classroom learning by donating books to our classroom library. All of the requested books are aligned with our Dealing with Hazardous Weather Worldwide unit in science. These texts will further support our scholars' understanding of the concepts being taught.
