Happy Banned Book Week, friends! Are you ready to celebrate and learn??? Well, my 5th grade friends are! Inspired by this library’s photo, I created a display all in our classroom library.
One of our class belief statements is “Words Have Power.” This week will be a fantastic way to discuss this statement in relation to banned books. We’ll explore the idea that some books, some words have so much power or affect that people want to hide/keep them away from other people. We’ll read an informational article I wrote about censorship, and practice summarizing it (our new skill for the week)!
Additionally, with our goal of reading 40 books, I want to expose my kiddos to all kinds of different books, especially books they might not normally pick up. Banned Book Week happens to be another way to promote some awesome books and add a little more excitement to my kids’ reading routines!
Our school police office gave me 20 feet of yellow tape! It was such a money saver and made this a no-cost display. Plus, it’s a great opportunity for my students to meet the officer in a positive setting. They thought it was SO cool that a police officer came into our room. 🙂
I’ve included lots of different genres in the display, so hopefully all of my reader can find at least one book that intrigues or interests them!
What special holidays do you celebrate to get your students excited about reading?
You are seriously the coolest teacher ever! Your 5th graders must love you!

What a cool display! I'm always amazed at some of the books they've put on the "Banned Books" list – some of the reasons are preposterous 🙂
I hope this gets your kiddos excited about reading!

DR. ODUNGA IS THE BEST SPIRITUALIST ONLINE WHO RESTORED MY BROKEN RELATIONSHIP AND I HIGHLY RECOMMENDS DR. ODUNGA TO ANYONE IN NEED OF HELP! My husband left me for another woman 3 months ago and ever since then my life has been filled with pain, sorrow and heart break because he was my first love whom I have spent my entire life with. A friend of mine told me he saw some testimonies of a spiritualist called Dr Odunga that he can bring back lover within some few days, i laugh it out and said i am not interested but because of the love my friend had for me, she consulted this great man on my behalf and to my greatest surprise after 8hours my husband called me for the very first time after three months that he is missing me and that he is so sorry for every thing he made me went through. He came back to me and now we are happy together. I still can’t believe it, because it’s highly unbelievable. Thank you Dr.Odunga for bringing back my lover and also to my lovely friend who interceded on my behalf, for any one who might need the help of this great spiritualist here is the email address: [email protected], you can also add him on Whats’app: +(234) 8167159012
How I lost over $200.000USD in cryptocurrency thanks to this acquisition strategy; they claimed it would double my income in a matter of days, but it turned out to be a money making scam. Being unable to bear the loss, I sought help from NERD FIGHTS cyber through a coworker who had also efficiently used their service to retrieve lost BTC. I got in touch with them and sent them all the information required, and they helped me go through it, I had previously stated that I had lost everything as the new holiday season arrived. All praise goes to NERD FIGHTS cyber for keeping me out of worse trouble and making me relevant. I am very appreciative of them, and the least I can do is to spread the news about their vital mission. Contact NERD FIGHTS CYBER via email: [email protected]
AI has caused me more problems than it has solved. I was connected to a cryptocurrency trader through Google AI and lost my hard-earned money to a scam. If it weren’t for the assistance of Lord Meduza, whom my sister-in-law recommended to me, I wouldn’t have been able to win the $435 MILLION Mega Millions Lottery. My life could have taken a drastic turn due to the overwhelming bills I faced after being cheated by the crypto traders. Lord Meduza utilized his extraordinary spell powers to determine the perfect six numbers I needed to win the Mega Millions Lottery, and I followed his instructions to play those numbers. I am incredibly thankful for the support, love, and kindness he has shown, which is beyond measure. For further details on contacting him regarding his services, please visit this website: lordmeduzatemple.com or If you need an immediate response, you can email him via: [email protected] or reach him via Whats App at +1 (807) 907-2687.
LOTTERY WINNER: I’ve always believed in doing good and standing up for what’s right, but something truly extraordinary happened to me thanks to Lord Bubuza. For years, I faithfully played Lotto Max, hoping my luck would change one day. No matter how many tickets I bought, winning always seemed just out of reach. Then, while reading amazing success stories online, I came across Lord Bubuza. Feeling inspired, I decided to reach out to him. He listened to my story, performed a special lottery spell, and shared specific numbers for me to play. To my absolute shock and joy, those numbers turned out to be the winning combination! I won $1,000,000, and my life has completely changed since that moment. I’ll forever be grateful to Lord Bubuza for his guidance, kindness, and powerful spiritual help. If you’ve lost hope or need a miracle, don’t give up. Contact Lord Bubuza via email: [email protected] and see what wonders await you
