Unravel the Secrets: Thrilling Mysteries for 6th Graders!

Help me give my students Fiction Books for our 6th grade classroom library!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Martinson's classroom raised $298

This project is fully funded

My Project

Adding these fiction books to our classroom library will captivate students and foster a love of reading. Each book—such as "The Inheritance Games," "One of Us Is Lying" series, and "The Cousins," shares the common thread of thrilling mysteries and secrets.

These books will engage students with suspenseful plots, encouraging critical thinking and enhancing their comprehension skills.

Moreover, they introduce diverse characters and situations that can spark meaningful discussions and reflections among students.

These books also serve as windows and mirrors for our students. They act as windows by providing a glimpse into different lives and perspectives, allowing students to understand and empathize with experiences different from their own. They reflect students' lives and struggles as mirrors, helping them feel seen and understood. By including these books in our library, we provide valuable opportunities for students to see themselves and others in the stories they read, fostering empathy, understanding, and self-reflection.
