My Students

My students are eager readers who are picky! In order to encourage my students, I must first provide relatable and interesting reading options. In order to provide the best options, I took a class poll. Our favorite book suggestions are listed and I'm on a mission to provide them to my students!

My students enjoy reading.

They love to learn and be exposed to interesting topics! They need encouragement and options for relatable texts to read throughout the school year! My students love to read books before they become movies, and they love to compare and contrast books to movies. One obstacle I face is finding funding to provide books for my students to read in my very own classroom. My students need materials to provide the best learning experience possible in Reading/Language Arts.

My Project

My students will check out books much like a library. They have their favorite options in my very own classroom. I take classroom polls before requesting books in an attempt to select the most popular books for my students to check out and have available. We would very much appreciate optional reading materials in our classroom!

Having extra reading options in my classroom will allow me to encourage a lifelong love of reading for my students!

Oftentimes, many of my students' favorite selections are unavailable in the school or public library. In an effort to support my students, I've learned that I must first provide interesting and relatable texts in our own classroom! My goal is to find at least one interesting book for my students to independently read throughout each school year.
