The Stars Beneath Their Feet

Help me give my students copies of the book, the Stars Beneath Our Feet

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Blunk's classroom raised $584

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our inner city students come from different backgrounds and many have lived through difficult circumstances.

My Project

We need forty copies of the award winning SEL book “The Stars Beneath Our Feet” for our fifth grade classrooms. Additionally, the book has recently been released and translated into Spanish, so we would like copies for our EL students as well. Engagement is key in education!

This read aligns with the fifth grade curriculum of reading in the areas of personal narrative and perspective (POV).

The book will bridge the gap in resources as our standard academic school year exceeds the counties by a few weeks. Our team feels the students of our classroom will relate to this book and draw inspiration from the story while learning about different story elements. Thank you.
