Interesting and Representative Books for Fifth Graders!
Help me give my students high-interest and diverse books to foster independent reading.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Davies's classroom raised $500
This project is fully funded
My Project
I am a first-year teacher taking on a fifth grade class in the Fall. I want to supply my classroom with diverse and representative books that are of high-interest to my students. These books will be put into our classroom library where students can check them out and use them for their weekly reading assignments.
I love that my students are resilient and eager to learn.
No matter the outside challenges they face, they find meaning in learning and in their classroom environment. I want to ensure that they have the necessary and relevant tools to be able to accomplish their goals.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
