My Project

The items I am requesting will benefit our classroom by staying up to date with the current novels and series that are being read. It also includes classic novels that have been forgotten as well as classic poetry books from Shel Silverstein!

My goal for this project is to expose my students to different types of literature all while introducing them to new types of novels at their reading level in third grade!

What makes my students special is that they are always go, go, go! Having quiet time to read or reading together helps us slow down and enjoy the imagination through reading! It also adds variety to our book clubs!
