My Project

Every day at dismissal, my students gather on the rug and we read a story before we head out the door. I think that reading to students is vital to their love for literacy.

This project will add new and exciting books into the mix for us to read at the end of the day.

The books that I chose give lots of life lessons like how to share, how to treat people and things with respect, and how to be kind.

Books are a great way to connect with students. They find joy in choosing the book for the next day and look forward to story time daily. I look forward to giving them the opportunity to love reading just as much as my teacher heart does!
