My Project

We are moving through third grade and our students are growing! We need higher level books as our students are growing every day as readers. Books like Merlin Missions, Amulet, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Wild Robot, Wings of Fire, and Big Nate are going to take our students to other worlds and challenge them. Other books in this order are going to teach our students about important people in history.

It is imperative that my students have a larger library and these books would be used in both third grade classrooms!
