My Project

During our 3rd grade year, we spend time learning about world changers. Sometimes, it can be difficult to find books that represent all students that are at a level of interest for eight year olds.

Let's give every child an opportunity to learn about world changers that have similarities to our diverse group of students.

By providing high-interest and appropriate leveled text, I can provide each student with a range of choices. This will increase confidence as each child is able to read about a range of people that impacted our world.
