My Project

I am constantly inspired by the curiosity and enthusiasm that my third graders bring to the classroom. They are eager to explore the world around them, ask insightful questions, and dive into hands-on learning experiences. One of the most rewarding aspects of teaching them is seeing their eyes light up when they uncover something new, and I know that with the right resources, their excitement for learning can grow even further. This project is designed to provide them with science-based texts that will fuel their love for research and exploration. These books will allow my students to explore a wide range of scientific topics—such as space, the environment, and the human body—while developing their research skills and deepening their understanding of key scientific concepts.

My goal for this project is to foster a sense of wonder and inquiry in my students, encouraging them to think critically and independently.

The books will support them as they engage in project-based learning, where they will research, collaborate, and apply what they learn in real-world contexts. This will not only enhance their academic skills but also inspire them to become lifelong learners.

What makes my students so special is their creativity, diversity, and strong sense of community. They come from different backgrounds, each with their own unique perspective, and they consistently inspire one another with their ideas and enthusiasm. These science texts will give them the tools they need to continue growing as learners and to develop a deeper connection to the world around them.

Mrs. Jensen will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 19.
