Description

Truckee Elementary 4th grade is requesting book sets to support science reading.  The books are aligned with theNext Generation Science Standards (NGSS). 

We would like to purchase 6 sets of books that are recommended by the STEMscopes program to provide background knowledge and resources for research and investigations.  

Benefits of Program

All 4th grade students will benefit from non-fiction reading. The books will also be available to students of other grades. 

Success of Program

Students love to learn about science. The new books will support student learning and foster excitement about non-fiction reading. We hope students will choose to read non-fiction books on their own. 

Implementation

STEMscopes is used by all Truckee Elementary teachers and our science teacher. The books sets are recommended by StemScopes and will be utilized in small groups or in solo reading. 

Can you share this grant with your grade level or subject team?

All 4th grade teachers and our science teacher will utilize these books. All other grades will have access to these materials to meet individual learning needs.

Sustainability
The science book sets will remain in our school library and will be used for many years to support science literacy and student interests.
