For Teachers

Since this project is for grades 2-4 (ages 7-10) you will need to decide the best way to incorporate it in your classroom. There some suggestions from our middle school project that you can revise for your age group. I welcome your ideas and success stories. They will be posted on this page. Below are some links that might be helpful. If you have any resources that you would like us to add please let me know.
