Mrs. Smith’s Classroom Edit display name

With the lack of funding in classrooms, it is hard to get many classroom sets of books. This is even truer for those with large class sizes. I have placed in my project 3 books that our students will read and study over the school year. One set is replacing an overly used and repaired class favorite, "Because of Winn-Dixie." The other two are books I would like to start using this school year. Children get a sense of independence when they are handed their own book, even when it is only being "loaned" to them. I have a few classroom sets, but these will help fill the entire school year. The way to develop better readers with a love for reading is to encourage them to read. Hopefully, this will help my students gain a love for reading.
