My Project

I curated these books for my kiddos to begin in-depth book studies this new year. These books range from historical fiction to science fiction and fantasy. My goal is to get my students excited about reading different genres and topics this new year. Students will participate in novel studies in groups of 5-6 students. My students LOVE reading and being read to. I am so excited to help them discover more books that will electrify their love of reading.

Students will work on cultivating a community of readers while exploring the worlds these novels create.

Having group sets of these books will allow the students to spend time with these books. Our library does not have enough copies of these books to let each student have one for an extended period, so the group sets are vital for the novel studies to run smoothly.
