My Project

My 7th and 8th grade students love to read books from every genre. A classroom library helps all student have books to take home as well as read at school. Our classroom library needs new books!

These diverse books will support social and emotional learning for middle schoolers and provide several small group books sets for bookclub style learning.

After months of online learning at home, it is evident students need modern books they can relate to and choices. The books selected include historical fiction, social and emotional topics like being a new kid at school, graphic novels, high interest mythlogy, and more. Access to captivating literature will support academic growth and make a difference in the lives of my students.
