I am looping up with my students this coming year (I am going to have the same students for 5th that I had for 4th), so I have the unique opportunity to revitalize my classroom library with specific students in mind. All the books on this list fulfill at least one of these three criteria: the book supports understanding of a topic my students will be learning about in 5th grade (e.g. human rights, natural disasters), it fits my goal to create a classroom library with a diverse set of protagonists or it was a book I knew a specific student or group of students would find interesting (I had them vote on books and some of them made it on this list!) Through this list of books, I want to inspire my students. I want to inspire them to read, so I chose books I know they will find interesting. I want to inspire them to see the beauty in who they are, so I chose books that have kids on the covers that are similar to them in some way. Last but not least, I want to inspire them to be better world citizens, so I chose books with a diverse set of people and situations in order to expand their understanding of the human experience.
