My Project

Help me bring student choice to my students in non fiction. These books are nominated for a student choice award and are spectacular books on various topics.

Open the world of nonfiction with new colorful, informative and interesting books for the students k-5.

We will use them to pose questions and conduct research based on the topics covered in these books. There is one on nature, dogs, people who have made a difference and so much more! These have been carefully chosen by librarians and the winner will be chose by students in Washington State.
