My Project

My students are highly curious and engaged. They have different interests and passions so a variety of book types are key to read and discuss with like-minded peers.

They need quality books in their hands to learn the joy of reading and to enjoy discovering the world around them.

Students need autonomy to explore and discuss what’s interesting about the world around them with their peers. Literature circles or book clubs are a great opportunity to delve into meaningful stories, ideas, and knowledge together. These books will drive their engagement while building their fluency and thinking with interesting content. The books will be a springboard for discussion, writing, and integrating content.

Ms. S will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 31.
