My Project

As part of our project based learning I plan to align this project with our reading curriculum and social studies curriculum.

These books have a lot in common.

The theme that brings them together are the topics of gardening, food and the culture of food around the world. These research reading books would be such an important part of my classroom library.

Students would be able to further their knowledge with our topic in reading and social studies and now science!! They can take these books home and continue to expand on their knowledge of garden and foods around the world!
