My Project

For the coming school year, my students will encounter new literacy units. These units will center on research about topics such as insects and standing up for your rights. I would like to vamp up my nonfiction library to offer a variety of texts for my students to gather information.

One thing I can count on is my students' love for books, I want to provide them with a variety of texts to use for their research projects on Activism and Insects!

Please help me give my students some new books.
