My Project

We are blessed to work with close to 180 students across 9 classrooms. Our students are eager learners, wanting to explore and discover their place in the world. Always growing, always learning, our students are constantly discovering new things!

Having books in classroom libraries will help support the ongoing learning of the day.

Throughout the course of a school year, our students' English Language Arts Curriculum is infused with Science and Social Studies topics, enabling teachers to build in rich vocabulary and awareness of the world. Each day, our students are given the opportunity to explore books and discover new learning.

This book list will allow each second grade classroom at our school to have materials that support the curriculum, and engage our learners.

Books on hand are key to growing readers! Providing these at the ready for students and teachers allows for optimum use of time!
