My Project

This was my first year teaching third graders. I brought all of my books with me from first grade, but through the year have learned that my third graders are in need of some upgraded books. This new collection will bolster several curriculum units throughout the year. I want to engage my students using actual books instead of always having to rely on technology.

In addition to books that will increase engagement, I have added chapter books that third graders would enjoy reading.

I have added a variety of boxed sets to give students lots of choice in what they will read and respond to on a daily basis.

I want to thank you in advance for your support in updating my classroom library to make it more grade appropriate, more engaging, and more in line with our curriculum.
