My Students

My students are a bright bunch of 5th graders who are constantly pushing themselves to reach their goals. My 5th graders take initiative in their own learning and are always excited to demonstrate their understanding of a new topic or subject.

My Project

This project includes a "Who Was" nonfiction books for each of my students that will introduce them to an important historical figure. My students will research their historical figure through their book, and create a project displaying what they learned.

Will you help my students learn about some of the most inspiring and inspirational figures in history?

Not only will these books introduce them to many historical figures, but the books will engage them in a way many nonfiction books fail to do.

The "Who Was" nonfiction books is an amazing series, and I cannot wait to add them to my classroom library!
