My Students

In a world of so many questions, our students are eager to know about world events and the Movers and Shakers by looking to our library books for the answers! Your support in helping my primary level readers will provide our library with the non-fiction books of interest that are frequently checked-out, the WHO WAS series...!

By encouraging our first, second, and third graders to read these short non-fiction texts, my students will continue to have their love of reading fostered and interest in our world around grow.

Our primary readers desire to dive into non-fiction text and this series of books will help support their interest. Struggling with non-fiction should not deter from their interest and by supporting our readers with these books, the earlier the better, they will continue to grow and read in tandem and be supported in their interest to learn about our diverse community and what makes our nation so great. Your help in this project will continue to help our students increase their reading comprehension and diversify their literary taste.

My Project

We are in need of adding to the non-fiction section of our library for our primary readers! Let's help my younger readers pick up a book from the "Who Was..." series!

History IS NOT boring!

Learning about the rich history and stories making up the United States of America ensures our students will gain a knowledge of civic community and pride. Together, we can place stories of innovators, movers and makers, and historical events to give our young ones a mind to take on the world and know NO-LIMIT! The possibilities are endless and, as we see in these stories, empower others to help create change and look forward to our future and the possibilities!
