My Project
I love my students love and dedication to reading. They hit the point in the year where most of them are deep into their chapter books. They are constantly trading books, asking when the Dogman #2 book will be available and wanting to read aloud to the class. My school doesn't have a library so kids have to rely on their classroom libraries.
These books and materials will benefit my students so they can explore more books, engage authentically with one another during choice time, and discover new interests of theirs through academic and social learning.
