Guided Reading Book Library
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nivens's classroom raised $596
This project is fully funded
My Project
Please help me give my students a variety of small group, guided reading books for our classroom.
For the last 5 years, I have been a math and science teacher, and next year, I will be teaching ELA and I need help to put guided reading books into the hands of my students.
As a result of teaching first grade for 5 years, and math and science for the last 5 years, I have no guided reading books in my classroom where students can read as a group and have interesting, fun things to read. Please help me put good books in my classroom to help instill the love of reading.
