My Project

My school serves grades K-6, but our collection doesn't serve our 6th grade students appropriately. I am trying to cultivate a collection for those students who are interested in branching out into the young adult genre.

I have picked some great series and standalone books that fits my students' needs in my school community.

My students are voracious readers who are trying to find new genres and series to read. This project will help achieve my goal of making my students become amazing readers with this new collection for our school library.
