My Project

After a recent district assessment, we realized our fifth grade scholars need more practice with non fiction texts. To help them grow in these skills and in an effort to expose them to other cultures, we would like to buy the book I am Malala for all the students in fifth grade. We will use this text to discuss multiple perspectives. We want students to understand how the blessings they experience here in the United States are not happening in other parts of the world. We hope students will take away the value and importance of education to help everyone achieve their goals.
