My Project
Third graders are at a special stage in their learning journey, filled with curiosity and a growing sense of independence. This is a time when they begin to make deeper connections with stories, ideas, and characters, making it the perfect opportunity to foster a lifelong love of reading.
In our literature circles, the goal is to encourage collaboration, critical thinking, and personal reflection.
Through group discussions, students explore different perspectives, share insights, and develop a deeper understanding of the text. By making reading a social and engaging experience, we aim to ignite a passion for books that will last a lifetime.
