My Project

My students love engaging read aloud books and the rich discussions that go along with them. It is so fun to see my students come alive during this part of our day. Our classroom books have seen better days and we are looking for some new books to dive into!

My goal is to provide my students with new books to explore, discuss, and enjoy together.

These books will provide my students with the opportunity to enjoy new adventures, enrich their vocabulary, and spark new conversations! As beginning readers, these shared experiences help to create lifelong readers!
