My Project

This will be my first time teaching fifth grade! In the past four years, I have taught 2nd and 3rd grade, so my classroom library needs some updating.

When arranging my book bins by genre to help students select books that will most interest them, I noticed that my mystery bin was seriously lacking.

Help me gift my future students a wide and engaging selection of mystery books to fuel their love for reading and learning! As a child, mystery books were my favorite, and I hope to share that love with my class!
