My Project

My students love to learn about new subjects: inventors, scientists, animals, planets and more! STEM read alouds are a great way to introduce new and exciting topics. Through our current read alouds, we have learned about perseverance, teamwork, failure, different ways to create and build, and diversity in the sciences. We have had some great discussions and questions based on the stories we have read in class. Our students deserve to have access to new and relevant science books, and it is especially important for them to learn about climate change and the world around them!
