My Project

I love reading and am hoping to encourage my 2nd graders to read more chapter books. I am learning that a lot of my books are old and don't look as appealing to my students. They don't seem to want to read them. I'd like to change that!

I'm hoping to get some new books that seem to be popular to 2nd graders plus a rotating bookshelf so that I have an awesome way to organize and display them.

I'm excited to see them develop their comprehension skills and a love of reading as they explore these new books.
