My Project

My students LOVE to read. They devour the books on my classroom shelves, and despite our best efforts, often return them looking like they have been through the wringer. They take books back and forth from school to home, on the bus, and everywhere in between.

This list is all title students love: Captain Underpants, Dork Diaries, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Bad Guys, Just, Grace, and more.

They are the best and most favorite books in the classroom- the ones whose bindings crack, pages go missing, and covers shear off. Every book on this list has been requested by a student, and will help fill the half empty boxes on our library shelves.
