My Project

I have the pleasure of working with high ability students, K-12, in a school system that is 100% free and reduced lunch. Daily, these students come to my room hungry for hugs, praise, and learning. They take pride in their work and look forward to sharing their successes. Because we are starting to build a high ability program from scratch, there are many resources we could use, especially novels for our most gifted readers.

Can you help me fill the high ability classroom with captivating novels?

Your support in purchasing these titles for students (K-8) will open doors, imagination, and rich conversations about characters, setting, themes, conflict, and consequences.

Ms. Osburn
Grades 3-5
