The books will be distributed to every student in grades three through five within the Lake Tahoe Unified School District and made freely available to other schools and districts in the Truckee-Tahoe region.
“We’ve been really deliberate about making sure that the content lines up with Next Generation Science Standards and the topics that Tahoe teachers are actually covering in their classrooms,” says Tahoe Institute for Natural Science co-founder and Executive Director Will Richardson. “It’s just one of the many ways we hope to help assist Tahoe educators, while inspiring a love of the natural world in children.”
