My Project

Providing these resources for my students would offer a valuable opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of weather! As we eagerly anticipate our upcoming climate and environment unit. I envision enriching our classroom environment with hands-on experiences.

Weather Books will introduce the students to weather concepts in an engaging manner, encouraging continued exploration at home with their families.

Additionally, sensory bottles will enable students to experiment with various weather phenomena, from creating clouds to exploring the water cycle. With your generous support, we can transform our classroom into an interactive weather laboratory, igniting curiosity and nurturing a lasting passion for science among our young learners. Together, we can inspire a love for learning and exploration that extends far beyond the walls of our classroom.
