My Project

Building a classroom library is such an important part of the classroom.

As a teacher, it is very important to me that my students have engaging books to read from our classroom library all year long.

This book selection is a part 2 project. The first project was more for fiction books and book clubs. This project is focused on adding more books, but I chose more non-fiction books. I want to provide my students with a variety of rich genres for our classroom library, which has more non-fiction text like Kids at Work, The Boy Who Invented TV, and Sit In. I feel it is important for my students to be able to read every genre throughout the school year. Each student has a class goal of reading 40 books this year. I believe this project will give the students a chance to find books that will keep them engaged and will want to meet their goals of reading 40 books this year!
