Literature Circles

Help me give my students multiple copies of texts for end of the year literature circles.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mann's classroom raised $296

This project is fully funded

My Project

At the end of the school year our district curriculum suggests literature circles as a way to get students introduced to new types of texts that they perhaps have not experienced before. I am looking to expand our classroom library to include some nonfiction literature circles, and add to our already diverse fiction literature circle choices. Students have varied interests, so I assume their reading interests are equally diverse.

Allowing student choice in literature circles can help even my struggling readers learn and develop a love of reading.

At our school we strive to turn our readers into leaders. I cannot wait to have this project funded to show my students that their love of reading can grow each year.
