My Project

Help me jump-start the new year with exciting new books! I have included books that are state and Caldecott award winners, books that work with the Novel Effect program (provides sound effects for read-aloud texts), books on topics of interest to students like baby animals, and book titles and authors both students and teachers have been requesting. Not only will these texts be utilized in this year's lesson plans for my K-5 students, but they will also be available for students to check out this year and for years to come. These books will supplement and grow the book collection we already have.
