Why Fit In When You Were Born To Stand Out?

Help me give my students the chance to study the elements of narrative through reading Jerry Spinelli's "Stargirl."

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Osmond's classroom raised $415

My Project

My current sixth grade class is full of amazing young people. It has been so much fun getting to know them through the past few weeks and I am so excited to continue learning together this year.

Stargirl is a story that reflects the ideas of conformity, individuality, and kindness.

We will explore these themes, and build an understanding of narrative writing, while we read this book in class.

There are few better feelings than turning the final page of a real, paper book. Through your donation toward these books, students will have the chance to experience this feeling rather than reading this amazing story online.
