My Project

As the fifth-grade chairperson, I am raising funds to purchase a new novel for our students. We want to use this novel because it is accessible to our students; interest is high when students can make personal connections to a text and see themselves reflected in the characters.

KINO AND THE KING is a novel that allows our students to be both entertained and educated.

As such, this project aims to engage our students in the Islands' history while deepening their knowledge of story elements. This novel study will impact our current students, as well as our future fifth graders.
