My Project

Updating my second-grade classroom library with current and engaging fiction titles is crucial for nurturing a love of reading among my students. As my young minds develop, their interests evolve, and providing them with a diverse range of books that reflect contemporary themes, characters, and experiences helps keep them engaged and excited about reading. By introducing them to recent releases and updated classics, I expose them to different writing styles, genres, and perspectives, broadening their literary horizons and encouraging critical thinking.

Furthermore, contemporary fiction titles often address relevant issues and reflect the diversity of our world, allowing me to see myself represented in literature and fostering empathy and understanding for others.

As society progresses and new voices emerge, it’s essential for me to keep pace with these changes and ensure that my classroom library reflects the dynamic nature of literature. By offering a selection of current and updated fiction titles, I not only cultivate a passion for reading but also equip my students with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate an ever-changing world.

Mrs. Petrucci will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 31.
