My Project

We are requesting books, books, books! Our titles include the series Press Start, Star Friends, The Diary of a Pug, and many more. My students selected these books hoping to add them to our classroom library. As a teacher, I am trying to build and foster a love for reading in my class that will last a lifetime. Getting high-interest books that are at my students' reading levels is key to making this happen.

With these books, students will have the ability to choose from a variety of titles that meet their interests, as well as their reading levels.

Students are thrilled about the thought of having new and exciting books to read throughout the year. They have spent time looking for and requesting books they would like to read during their independent reading time. With your help, I can make this happen.
