My Project

My grade one students, and some kindergarteners, have been asking me to get some new books to read once our lesson is over. Many have been telling me jokes and asking me trivia questions after lessons, so I thought it may be a good idea to acquire some books that relate to that.

I found some hilarious joke books and world record books that my students may like.

These books are age appropriate and similar to “dad jokes”, and the world record books are full of cool fun facts that they are interested in. My students also asked for some Pokémon books, so I thought they can check those out during class as well. These books will be a great addition to the ones we have since the other ones are getting old and repetitive.
