Books to Read for 5th Graders

Help me give my students books they are interested in reading for our classroom library!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. P's classroom raised $539

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a newer teacher, I am looking to grow my classroom library, which includes books that my students will love. These books will help meet the needs of students' reading levels and include topics of interest to them.

As a class, WE decided and created this list of books WE would love to see in our classroom library.

Help me give my students access to these magnificent titles and help them grow as readers. These books will be enjoyed by my current 5th grade class and many more for years to come.
