My Project

We love reading class novels and exploring ecosystems! What better way than to find a text that all 32 students can all enjoy together! I have found the perfect book we can all read together! I currently teach a 5th grade ICT classroom. Many special needs students struggle focusing when reading a class novel. Many students stay focused when we are reading text that include science. This is the perfect novel!

Please help support my amazing ICT students by donating copies of the class novel "Night of the Spadefoot Toads"!

This text will help us learn, character traits and theme while exploring ecosystems in the 5th grade curriculum. This novel will allow the students to meet the 5th grade standards while learning about their interest! My classroom is located in a low socio-economic community.
