Hello, My name is Megan Stauffer and I teach 4th grade at Elmonica Elementary. Each year, we spend time reading and learning about the historical fiction genre, but my classroom and school library do not contain enough books/variety to support our entire grade level.  This project will allow us to purchase close to 100 brand new books for our 4th graders!  They'll have access to current, high interest, continued series of historical fiction books such as Blast From the Past, Imagination Station, I Survived, Ranger in Time, Hazardous Tales, and Horrible Histories.

I have never had a student *not* be excited by new books, but what becomes even more special is seeing a student fall in love with a new genre because they have the right book in their hands. I see it every year in the few historical fiction books I do have, and I know their joy can grow deeper and be sustained with a wider range of books and series.  It's truly a wonder how something so small can spark such great learning when the right tools are available. Please help our 4th graders experience that spark year after year.
