Our students are a unique, capable, innovative, diverse, loving, and groundbreaking group of students. They are the second group of Spanish Dual Immersion students within our district. They are paving the way for other classes of students in the years to come not only with their enrollment in our DLI program, but also with their thirst for knowledge, global-mindedness, and love of learning.
Our students are going to make the world a more beautiful place.
Their love of learning, language, and culture gleaned through being a part of our classroom community and our DLI program will undoubtedly change our world. Please help us equip and inspire our students by providing all of the necessary items for them to be successful and to showcase their learning.
My Project
Second-grade students are just beginning to dive into the land of chapter books. Branching out is scary and intimidating for many students who are used to colorfully illustrated picture book pages with few words per page.
Please consider helping our students branch out into the brand new world of chapter books with the Branches Series.
After personal research and consideration, we have found that the Branches Series of chapter books is a great resource to help students confidently make the transition from picture to chapter books. These books are colorful, contain lovable chapters, and are thoughtfully designed with the primary reader in mind.
The Branches Series by Scholastic is specifically designed for students who are branching out from picture books to chapter books. The guided reading levels of these books range from K-O. This text range is a second grade "sweet spot" as students are expected to be reading at level M at the end of the school year.
Our hope is that these texts will help students fall in love with chapter books and reading! We cannot wait to have our students fall in love with each series and their characters. We also cannot wait to see their confidence in reading grow as they make the realization that "hey, I read a whole chapter book" for the first time.
