My Project

Let's expand students' minds, interests, and understanding through new books. These books would help children understand the lives of women and black leaders in our own US history.

Literature like a group read of Lightning Thief will also help expand possibilities as they imagine futures.

This request also supports their understanding of key subjects like biology and world history.

Please consider giving to our MPS classroom, and these materials will be used by children the moment they arrive. Students have asked me for these resources and will be awaiting them.

Ms. Sangita
Grades 3-5
