My Project

In 6th grade, students are introduced to a lot of new content in science and social studies. My hope is to provide students with books that will reinforce what they are learning in those classes.

I want to provide my students with nonfiction books in my ELA class that are related to the topics they are learning about in science and social studies classes so that they are able to learn the material better.

I will use many of these books in class to teach reading skills to students, while also building the background knowledge needed to better grasp the new content in science and social studies. Other books will be available for students to read independently so they can learn about people they are interested in, while growing in their reading skills.

Thank you for considering a donation to this project! I am grateful for any support!

Mrs. Lehr will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by September 6.

Grades 6-8
