My Project

Students need books that are engaging and at the right reading level. After working in an upper-grade elementary classrooms for the past 4 years I have now been re-assigned to a lower-grade classroom. I am so excited to work with this group of curious learners! Because of the change in grade level, my classroom library does not represent the reading levels of the students I will be working with. My goal is to provide children with the new books needed to engage and challenge them within reason. When they are excited about the reading materials provided, they read more.
