My Project

My third-grade students are really stepping it up with their independent reading skills. They are flying through books! I would love to keep this going by expanding our classroom library so that every student is able to select several books that they are truly interested in reading. With my students in mind, I have created a cart full of engaging and fun chapter and picture books I know my students will love and cherish. In addition, the selected books include cross-curricular connections with social studies and world history!
