My Project

These books will be used for lessons in our intermediate classrooms for reading and writing lessons. Through these engaging books, students will be learning about high interest topics and also grade level skills will be infused into each lesson. These books will be used across all 10 of our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade classrooms and will be used for many years to come. Many of the books are about places around the world and influential historians that students will be excited to learn about! With your support, we can't wait to introduce these texts to students in the fall.
