My Project

Hello, my name is Dr. Pargas and I teach 5th grade at a diverse, fun, and wonderful school. In order to help my students, I am looking for book sets to help build my children's love of great literature during their time in 5th grade. These sets will be used in class to help students build fluency and comprehension skills. We will read aloud to make sure all kids are engaged in learning. These book sets are needed to support all the kids in my class. I can't wait to get started!
