My Project

I am so excited that my students will be participating in the school district's Battle of the Books next school year. We need copies of the nominated Black Eyed Susan Books to put on the shelves in the library so that students have them available to check out during the Battle of the Books.

My students had so much fun participating this year and loved reading the books!

The Battle of the Books will give students an opportunity to participate in a fun and engaging activity that sponsors reading for enjoyment.

Please put these amazing books on the shelves so they are available for my amazing students!
