These resources have deepened their understanding of heredity and critical thinking skills. Next, they will apply their knowledge in a \"Genetics in Action\" project, exploring traits in plants and animals.

Classroom supplies have fueled creativity, especially in our \"Cell City\" project, where students designed blueprints to represent organelle functions.

The addition of new biographies representing different cultures and careers help students make connections between historical figures and students' own lives. By engaging with these diverse stories, students are not only improving their comprehension and critical thinking but also gaining a deeper understanding of the resilience, creativity, and leadership that shape our world.\r\n\r\nThis collection will be used for teacher assignments, as well as individual student enjoyment for those who are eager to explore the lives of inspirational people. \r\n\r\nIt's wonderful for me as the librarian to have students see these books on display and to remark to me that the person in the biography is from their home country or that they have seen an athlete who the book is about on TV and that they want to learn more about them.
