My Students

Teaching fifth grade is SO much fun! They are always eager to learn. Their hunger for education is what makes me love my job. Our school has an astounding support system composed of parents, teachers, and administrators. We ALL have one thing in common to want each student student in our building be successful. I’m always looking for new and exciting ways to engage my fifth graders to keep my fifth graders interested in reading.

My Project

Sometimes, fifth graders have trouble finding a book that interests them. The support of this project will allow my students the chance to have books available in our classroom library at any given time. I found books over various topics that will appeal to all fifth graders no matter what they're interested in. These books will help my bring diversity into my classroom by covering a wide variety of topics like sports, history, and famous people. I can use these books to reinforce important people and events that we talk about in Social Studies as well. These fun book titles will help promote independent reading which will help them become stronger readers.
