My Project

There are so many influential people who have shaped the world into what it is today.

These books would be able to be used for our unit on influential people and also for our black history unit.

The "Who is/was" series is a great one that my students tend to gravitate towards. The author does a great job of providing information about the person of focus in a kid-friendly way that keeps them engaged. This year, my students are interested in biographies, so these will be a great addition to the small amount I currently have.

The drawers will be used to store the books so that they can be used for years to come.

Thank you for considering donating to my classroom and library.
