Six and seven year-olds are just about the most enthusiastic people on the planet. If you were to walk into my classroom and ask them what they are learning you might hear "I'm learning to be a better reader." "I'm getting smarter in math."... but you will also hear "I'm learning to be kind." "I'm learning to persevere."
We are a classroom family and more than anything I want for my students to feel important, empowered and part of something special - to own their dreams and their education.
I hope you will consider supporting these amazing kids with this request and other projects that make our classroom a great place to be.
My Project
It is exciting to have 1st grade readers who are ready to tackle "big kid" chapter books - but I need appropriate books for my higher readers so that they can hold partner book clubs during reading group times. Magic Tree House books are the perfect fit. These books are fun, engaging and written at just the right challenge level. The characters are brave, kind kids who love learning about the world.
I would like to have books and nonfiction companion guides in our classroom library that bring their learning to a higher level.
For example, after reading "Knight Before Dawn" students will read the nonfiction research guide "Knights and Castles" to enhance their learning and make connections between fiction and nonfiction text. Thank you for helping me push my first grade readers to greater heights!
