My Project

My 2nd grade students are fascinated with insects and animals. They point out all the insects they observe in our school's small garden. They notice the squirrels that scamper up the trees and across the playground. When they look up and see the birds in the sky, they are amazed by their ability to fly.

I am requesting books and other materials on different insects and animals to further develop my students' interest and knowledge.

These books, Squishmallow and other materials will help them learn more about these special creatures and how they contribute to the environment and nature. They will also develop their reading comprehension skills on informative texts.
