My Project

Being able to read is such an important skill that we teach our kids. I have found it's so much easier when the students are reading things they enjoy.

One of the main areas I focus on in my classroom is my library.

I have books that I read to the students to teach them life lessons and skills they need to master, and some that are just for fun. I also have a library in my classroom that is strictly for student use. They are able to grab books from there to read during independent reading time and their free time. I am trying to grow my classroom library so my students will have more books to choose from.
