My Project

Students in my class work in small groups to work on skills that they are having a difficult time in. I would love to provide book sets that will spark their love of reading as well as be able to use books to have the students work on skills being taught in class. Since I will have students working on various things at one time, I would appreciate having flexible seating for the students who are working in small group so that they can decide where they want to meet and can are able be comfortable as well. The picture books will also be used help students with their social and emotional learning as well as to help them understand the standards that are being taught in the classroom. My students will truly benefit from the books and seating throughout the school year!
