I am a first year teacher, and because of this I don't have very many books, or funds to purchase books. These books will be used to help foster literacy in our classroom and get the students excited about not only reading but many different subjects. We will be using these books in different units throughout the year. For example, our first unit that we will be doing as a class is life cycles of butterflies. These books will help us to extend our learning, which I may not be able to do otherwise with my limited materials. I believe that reading is very important at this age because not only does it benefit them developmentally, but it gives them a love of learning which will help them throughout all of their school years.
