My Project

Each fall we ask our 8th graders which books they want in the classroom library to get them reading every day. This is a list of books my current students researched on Good Reads and Epic Reads. This year's students asked for more poetry, graphic novels, young adult mystery, and romance, as well as horror and suspense titles! We are also desperate for engaging Spanish and Ukrainian language books appropriate for ages 12-14.

If our students are engaged in their reading material, they will make growth as readers!

Your contribution will go towards buying the books our students are looking to get in their hands and start reading right away!
