With these funds I will purchase high interest novels to catch the interest of my fifth graders. Students do not like to read, but once they find a book that they can relate to, they are in love. I want them to have a rich classroom library so they have the opportunity to fall in love with reading over and over again. I will be purchasing the following novels and sets with the funds:
