My Project

My classroom writing and fine motor center is a place that my students really enjoy-I read and write on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they write 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. Students will be able to choose writing books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading and writing time.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to practice writing daily.

The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books (Sight-Word Daily Activity Journals) will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word and writing.
