My Project

Having a classroom library is important to me, but having a classroom library that has many different types of books that will appeal to the various interests, skills, and needs of my students is even more important. As I start to think of my second year teaching second grade, one of my goals is to create a more engaging and enriching library for my students. 2nd grade can have a large range of reading levels for each child and I want to make sure every student has a book that captures their engagement and increases their confidence in reading. Whether that is with an “I Can Read” picture book, graphic novels, chapter books, non-fiction books, etc. Whatever will get children to read is a win-win scenario
