Books for Our Comfy Reading Corner!

My Project

As a 2nd grade teacher, I am noticing huge gaps when it comes to reading due to Covid and all the time my students missed out on not being in school. Having quality books for my readers is so important!

All of these books have been chosen with my second grade students in mind.

Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.

Every student will have access to these books! These books will be used in our classroom daily. Students will be able to go to their book bins and choose from a variety of books. Thank you so much for your generous donation!
