Shiloh: Journey of Compassion and Courage for My Fifth Graders

Help me give my students each a copy of Shiloh to study in our fifth-grade ELA class. This book will engage them in discussions about compassion, responsibility, and courage, enriching their reading experience and love for learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carta's classroom raised $890

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

My fifth-grade students are eager to dive into a meaningful book study in their English Language Arts class, and we’ve chosen "Shiloh" by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor—a powerful story that explores themes of compassion, responsibility, and courage.

To ensure every student can fully participate, we need enough copies of "Shiloh" for the class.

Having their own book will allow students to annotate, discuss, and truly engage with the text.

Your support will make a lasting impact on their learning and love for reading. Thank you for helping us bring this story into our classroom.
