My Project

It is important to give all students rich experiences during elementary school education; it can change lives for the better. Fifth-grade students are quirky, funny, entertaining, and sometimes just out of their element. Developing new interests and skills is the foundation for education and learning.

Fifth grade is a time of exploration and growth.

This age is full of excitement and curiosity. These students are trying to find their place in the world. Fifth graders are on the edge of childhood and beginning their teenage years. It is so much fun to watch them learn and grow throughout the school year. Teachers have a unique opportunity to introduce fun educational activities to students. These activities can turn into lifelong enjoyable pastimes.

My Project

These books are current, award winning books that students like. The books on this list are award winning, student appealing books. Students will like these new books and will be excited to read them.
