My Project

I've put this project together so that I can create a super fun book club. Book clubs are valuable in the effort to help students fall in love with reading. By giving students a space to read and discuss novels that are at their level with issues that they may be able to relate to, we're allowing students to themselves in the characters of the books. This project will reach many students in the 3rd grade and will be the subject of many exciting conversations around reading.
