My Project

I am requesting nonfiction books to read. The only books many of my students have access to are from my classroom. Adding these great nonfiction books to the classroom will give my students a wide variety of people to choose to read and learn about like authors, mathematicians, athletes, musicians, and scientists.

The people in these books have had many challenges in their lives, just like many of my students.

I want my students to see that just because you have had challenges in your life, doesn't mean that you can't go on to do great things.

Mrs. Myers
Grades 3-5
