My Project

Our 2nd and 3rd-grade students are curious, thoughtful, and love to learn about our world through stories, poems, songs, and books.

Your donation will help to supplement our unit of Africa, by providing books on various reading levels about this continent's rich and diverse countries; students will learn about the various languages, landscapes, animals, customs, peoples, beauty, and richness of Africa's countries through this unit library.

This library will also help students with their research on a country within Africa as they explore, write and create models of this beautifully-diverse continent.
