My Project

This project includes read alouds and chapter books with diverse characters for our classroom library! This project includes fiction and non-fiction books that will support a love for reading in our class. My students love to read and are interested in learning more about the world. These books include titles that will be both mirrors and windows for students, allowing them to see themselves represented in the books they read and also learn more about the world around them. This project will promote literacy and community in our wonderful class!
