My Project
These books were selected because they are highly recommended from various lists and coworkers. Some of these books were chosen due to their popularity with students and that they are easy to read. Other books were chosen because they celebrate and educate on diversity or talk about Alaska. All books are rated somewhere from 3-7 grade in order to accommodate a variety of reading levels in the classroom.
These books will give my students access to stories that entertain them while also expanding their horizons on diversity and encourage them to learn about their home state.
