My Project

Thank you for helping my class. We are a close-knit group of students and teachers who enjoy working together every day to learn more about the world around us. My third graders are inquisitive and love to read. I want to allow them to read a great book as a class, in doing this we can interact with each other as we each read a copy of the same book.

The book is an interesting story and my class will love reading about a little mouse that goes on grand adventures.

The more time students spend reading the better readers they will become. Great literature is so important to share with students and being responsible for an actual paper book is important to teach students responsibility with their book and simultaneously promote love for literature. My goal is for my students to enjoy reading a chapter book from start to finish.
