Goal
We would like to have a class set of the 15 Sunshine State Reader books for each 5th grade classroom. We have four groups of students and need to purchase 60 total.
What will be done with my students
Our students will be able to have access to the books chosen at a state level. They range in Lexiles (reading levels) and there is something for everyone. Our students are very excited because we track our reading progress through bookmarks and a bulletin board that we mark each time we complete a book. If students read all 15 books by the end of the year, they also get to go on a field trip and are awarded the opportunity to purchase even more books!
Benefits to my students
Our students love to start reading these books as soon as we start off the year. The list benefits third through fifth graders and we would also share our copies with the other grade levels once a book has circulated through our classroom. Students may also do book studies or projects focused on these texts.
Budget Narrative
The cost of one set of class books is $178. $178x4 sets of books for all 5th graders= $712
