My Project

Students in fourth grade need a variety of books in the classroom. Early finishers love to be able to pick books of their choice to read, but in low income, poverty school we do not have a vast variety for students to select from. Fourth grade students love reading, graphic novels, and interesting books with characters. I would like to have resources for students to access from a variety of books that they will not want to put down. Reading is the route to a child success in learning. By providing textbook, students will have more opportunities to grow.
