My Project

I love how interested my students are in reading and science but we do not have any materials. The materials that I chose for this project will support students in getting hands-on learning and materials in science and reading. The science curriculum and experiences have been underdeveloped for years. The pandemic also put a stop to their development in STEM. This year, I will be teaching self-contained intensive learning support for 6-8th grades that needs more support in science and reading but on their levels. The materials will be used to tailor lessons in a small group setting. They are not able to to go the middle school science classes. This project will also provide reading materials that will support students on their reading level. My school does not have any current reading materials that are on students' reading levels. This is important for them because they are in need of home libraries as they borrow from our classroom library. The local libraries still have not opened for students to borrow from.
