My Project

As it gets to the end of the year and testing starts I want to give my students something that will not only keep their minds engaged but gives them something different to read.

Help fill my classroom library with sciences books on every topic.

Books about cells and physics to science comics that will make sure they smile during their reading.

Having a variety of books for the students to choose from will give always keep them coming back for more. That is what I want to give them. A space to learn, explore and stay engaged.
