My Project

For this project, I am looking for several books to use in my classroom. First, I am looking for several different biography books to add to my collection to help support the biography unit I teach. These new books will help the students learn about people from the past and the present.

I am also looking for books to add to my library that meet my students interests.

These books will help hook reluctant readers, as well as expand student knowledge in several different and new topics for them! Thank you so much for considering donating to my students and our classroom!
