My Project

My students love to read! Please help support student passion for reading, so that they can continue to have success as readers. The students of 4th grade are in need of some new book titles for independent reading and book clubs. Our library will blossom with some new titles that will pique student interest. The book titles were selected based on genre, awards, and diversity.

Please support our project to ensure that the students are always excited about the books that they are reading.

With new books in our classroom library, the students will be excited to grab books from different genres. With more choices for book clubs, students will be able to select the books that they want to read with their group.
