My Project

My students are so curious about the world around them and love learning new facts!

While they can easily find answers to their questions online, a diverse science research library will expose them to more information and spark new questions.

Plus, the images in these book are amazing!

This science library will be work for early finishers in the classroom so they can find answers to their many questions and extend their learning independently. These resources will be paired with specific websites and a Google form where they can conduct their research and then share with me, as their teacher.
