My Students

My students are fifth graders who live in a small rural community. They are curious, imaginative and love learning. We are a Title I school and have a high percentage of students receiving free and reduced-price lunch. My students come to school each day ready and excited to work hard and learn!

My Project

These books will help my students continue on with Brian and his adventures after reading Hatchet. Watching my students fall in love with the first book of the series, and seeing their eyes light up when I told them there are more books to the story made me want to get these books for them! They ask daily if I have found copies of the next book yet.

With these books, they will be able to read in a small group, but also independently at their grade level or push them into a higher grade level.

The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word and being able to complete a book series.
