My Project

New classroom books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place where my students really enjoy reading on the carpet, completing work, and reading independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind- I have watched them the past few weeks of school, read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.

The classroom supplies will replace the items that were used this past year, or items that were so loved that they need replacing.
