Excellent Trade Books to Expand Comprehension
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
My second grade classroom is a place of respect, encouragement, challenge, and discovery. Students spend this year learning foundation of knowledge and skills they will need to be successful in their education and in life. The students are second graders in a rural North Carolina elementary school. My students are excited to explore literature, to learn about fiction and nonfiction texts, and to expand their capacity for learning using trade books to enrich our knowledge and experience.
We can never have enough books to read!
My Project
Our class has begun a new adventure into a listening and learning language arts curriculum. To reinforce domains 8 and 9 concepts of this curriculum, I would love to have trade books available in our classroom library.
I would love to extend our lessons through the use of rich, authentic literature that will bring our studies to life!
In addition, these trade books would infuse authentic domain-related literature into fun and exciting extension activities during our studies.
I have chosen these titles from the suggested trade book list to reinforce the domain concepts focused on during our studies of The US Civil War and Insects.
