My Project

This project will provide my students with a variety of books to inspire their STEAM projects.

Students at any age will love the beautiful illustrations and inspiring messages in each of these books.

I selected each of these based on the units of study and topics in STEAM. They will allow students to learn about force and motion, robots, engineering and more! I look forward to watching them learn and grow as they enjoy these books. I will be able to share them with me current students and classes for year to come.
