New Books for the New School Year

Help me give my students grade level books that are interesting and fun!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The books in this project are 5th grade appropriate for my new students. Reading is very important, and it is essential that our classroom library is filled with books they will want to read. In this project, I have different series that are perfect for the students in my 5th grade class.

The books in this project my students will love to read and will help them grow as readers!

A Tale of Dark and Grimm is a series that will be perfect to read this fall. Students will get a variety of books in this project that they can read through. Many of these books and series are my students favorites. Many of these books are handpicked by them!
