My students need 18 sets of favotite book titles, including Bluford Series! After teaching pre-K for 10 years, I'll be teaching 3rd grade.I have a handful of appropriate books to offer my students.
Reel in the books! We want to love reading, and to do that, we need to have books available to us in our classroom. I am changing grade levels and need more "big kid" books. I want to provide books that reflect different cultures, genres of literature, and reading levels.
My students are hard working 3rd graders in a public school in the peach state of Georgia.
They enjoy learning new things, having fun while learning, and trying new things. They are a diverse group, in race, learning styles, personalities, and taste in literature!
My Project
This books will be used daily in my classroom. My husband and I built a book loft in my new classroom. My classroom them is "Cool School" with fish and ocean them. The loft will be the "Reading Reef", and offer students a comfortable place to snuggle up with a good book. We will also use the books to compliment our Georgia Performance standards, particularly our Social Studies standards as I have including many different books on American History and Civics.
These books will offer my students a selection.
We are in a very, very large school, and we have a nice Media Center. However, I truly believe it is essential to have books in the classroom available at all times. It takes longer than you would imagine to walk to the Media Center, pick out a book, and walk back. While this will be a choice at times, having books in the classroom within arms reach of students is irreplaceable!
