My Project

By giving my students, the gift of a class set of the books “Where the Mountain Meets the Moon” and “Restart” you are giving them the opportunity for two novel studies this school year. Novel studies with these amazing books will not only help foster the love of reading in my students, but also allow them to work collaboratively in small groups to really dissect and understand each novel. Both of these novels are such great stories that my students are all surely to be engaged with, connected to, and keep them looking forward to reading each day. These novels would be such a great addition to our reading curriculum this school year, as well as four years to follow.
