Nothing Like a Good Book

Help me give my students choices of books to read when done with their assignments! So we can build comprehension.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Garrow's classroom raised $498

My Project

With these books, students will be able to learn about various people in history as well as study STEM careers if they are girls. I believe that we need more girls going into STEM these days and I think if students begin reading and learning what is out there, they will start dreaming of the stars.

Not only will my students be able to learn about STEM, they can also sit back and read a good graphic novel.

Many of our learners prefer this type of reading. I am trying to get on the bandwagon and provide my learners with what they are interested in.
