Welcome to today's video! My name is Kim and I'm a third year 5th grade teacher in West Michigan. On this channel, I share a variety of teaching and lifestyle content. In today's video, I'm sharing a massive middle grade book haul with over 50+ books that I recently bought from a local thrift store, Firstbook Marketplace, and Scholastic Book Clubs. I purchased many different nonfiction books after attending the 2021 Michigan Reading Conference and feeling inspired to do so, but I also bought a variety of other books I thought my students might enjoy (from horror middle grade books to books about friendship and more!)
