My Project

“Reading is like travel, allowing you to exit your own life for a bit, and to come back with a renewed, even inspired, perspective.” ― Laurie Helgoe

A library with full shelves allows students to dig deeper into experiences that are not their own.

My "Reading Through History" project is filled with books specifically chosen to catch my students' interest. These books will provide my students with historical diversity and a library filled with Social Studies content. The labeling stickers will allow my students to easily find books based on a specific historical period.

Grades 6-8
