My Project

This project will add to some titles from book series we already have in our class, and it will add some books from new series to our bookshelves as well.

This year, my students love fantasy and historical fiction books, so this project is centered around getting more books like that in the hands of each of my kids.

I love including book series in my class because, once a student becomes interested in the author of the series, the characters in the series, or the way the story continues from book to book, the more likely they are to keep reading. I always say this is what happens when authors make readers, and this project really encompasses that motto.
