My Project

I will read these purposefully selected picture books to my students each day. We will spend a week on each title and incorporate many literacy skills including comprehension, vocabulary and grammar into our learning. My students love listening to and discussing good literature and will gain such knowledge by spending multiple days on each title.

My students have PRIDE: they persevere, they are respectful, they have integrity, they are driven to excellence, and they show empathy.

They are curious and LOVE to learn!

The books I have selected are a part of a literacy curriculum that will last all year long. My students will be so excited to have new books with fun and engaging activities to go along with all of them.

The 6 slot mail center will ensure that all of the books and activities are organized for the week!
