Riding the Literacy Train Through 5th Grade History!

My students need historical books to go with our thematic units.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Port's classroom raised $516

This project is fully funded

My Students

My group of fifth graders are eager to learn and grow, but we are in need of some help! My elementary school is located in a small rural area of our county. Many of my students come from a low socioeconomic status and struggle with learning. Very few are fortunate enough to have access to books to help provide support for learning. Because my school is Title I school, our availability to have these resources are limited. However, they do their best to provide as much as they can. Through this project, I hope to give my students new opportunities for learning.

My Project

My students are excited about learning all about history. My students are always eager to learn about new topics, but sometimes textbook resources don't provide a fun and exciting way to learn while incorporating literacy. Because our school has limited funding, we do not have a enough books in our series to allow for independent reading for a large group of 5th graders. I feel that if each child had their own book, it would allow for my students to become more actively engaged. These books contain great historical stories that will tie in to my science and social studies standards for our state. Receiving these books would allow my students a joyful ride on the "Literacy Train Through 5th Grade History!"
