My Project

My fifth grade students love reading and they love picking out books that are right for them. Every quarter, I have a book tasting event and it has been a hit! My students love seeing the classroom transformed into a book cafe and they absolutely love being able to explore the books in our class library in a new and unique way.

Diversity in books is extremely important as it is so necessary for students to be able to learn about themselves, as well as others through the books they read.

These books will provide my students with the opportunity to learn about cultures, backgrounds, and ethnicities, as well as giving them the chance to improve their reading skills and abilities.

The writing and grammar activities will help my students build upon the skills they have, to be proficient writers in all subject areas.
