My Project

I love how much my students will buy into a book when they see something that they can relate to. I want my students to see themselves represented in my classroom library. This shows them that I care for them and want to see them represented in the real-world.

On Fridays, I do an activity in my classroom called SSR.

It is Sustained Silent Reading. This allows my students to experience reading a book without the added stress of having a test or assignment on it. I want my students to have many choices of books that they will want to read.
