New Books for Our 5th Grade Library!

Help me give my students more books for them to read to challenge themselves in reading and to read within their interests.

My Project

With our 5th grade class growing more in students and learning, we want to add more to our classroom library to meet the goals and interests of the students. Students are constantly growing their minds and changing their reading levels, and I'd like to make more opportunities for the students to read books that they are interested in and offer them more to grow in reading.

With your support, you'll help give the students opportunities to read books that are interesting to them and at their reading level.

We would like to add many different genres of books to give the students more to choose from.
