My Project

Each of the books in this grant will serve as a mentor text for my students as we practice our fiction comprehension or further our background knowledge about history and science.

Blood on the River has been a big hit with my fifth graders this year - so much so that our brand new copies are torn, tattered, and peppered with sticky notes!

We need new copies. Poison in the Colony is the sequel to Blood on the River and it will fly off the shelves!

The other books are for my younger students to help us develop our knowledge of history and science content. These are books that I have checked out from our public library for students to use - it will be great to have copies in our classroom!
