My Project

I have begun the task of building a classroom library for my 5th and 6th graders by bringing in my own personal books from home! I want to ensure that we not only have a large selection of books, but that we also have access to books with characters that represent my students.

I am hoping to provide my students with high-interest, engaging, and diverse books.

We have a variety of interests and reading abilities in my classes, and I have selected a set of books that will appeal to my students.

There is nothing better than helping a student find that one special book that makes them want to read. With your help, I can ensure more students have that magical moment!
