All the Cool Kids Are Reading!

Help me give my students fun, engaging books to read during our daily read aloud time. These books will also help me to teach my students important reading skills in a way that's easy for them to understand.

My Students

The community in which I teach is small, rural, and full of very humble, hard-working students and their families. This group that I have the honor of teaching are highly inquisitive learners that gravitate towards engaging stories that they can identify with, and some that take them beyond their wildest dreams. I have the amazing opportunity to expose them to ideas and concepts that may otherwise be unseen.

"Develop a passion for learning.

If you do, you will never cease to grow." -Anthony J. D'Angelo

Our school is dedicated to empowering students and helping them to succeed. I strive to give my students the chance to learn new concepts and experience new things daily. Even though I am the teacher, I have definitely learned so much from my students.

My Project

I LOVE finding a good read aloud to help me teach a hard skill like "Making Inferences". Books also help to build a class community or teach social skills such as, how to be a friend or the importance of accepting others. Also, books are just fun ways to unwind and travel to another time, place, or take a walk in someone else's shoes!

More engaging literature in the classroom will help my students see and build connections.

Reading aloud to students helps to foster a love a reading. I truly believe that the key to success. It is vital for continued learning, and my goal for all my students is that they become "lifelong learners"!
