Support Mrs. Staab's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
5th grade is an important year to students to cement the skills they have previously learned and to further their thinking. Reading is an important part of a student's future. Students taking interest in novels, or reading in general, seems to be lacking in today's society.
As a teacher I want to regain the interest in reading through novels to sharpen their skills and challenge their thinking.
With a class set of the novel Things Not Seen, I will be able to have my class work collaboratively, independently, and in a group setting. They will be able to provide text evidence, analyze characters, and problem-solve. Every student will be involved with the lessons as we work through the novel study.
