My Students

Hi! We are a 3rd and 4th grade split class! Because of this, we are the higher readers in our grade levels. We are wanting to update our class library to have books that match our reading levels.

Our current class library is only at a low second grade level.

We are wanting to improve this so that we can constantly be reading in our room! This will give us the opportunity to continue improving our reading and comprehension skills.

My Project

When we went to distance learning, students were limited on the books that they had available to them. For many students, this made it so that their reading skills were drastically affected.

I want my students to be motivated by what they read and to find the joy in it.

If they find something that they enjoy reading, they are going to read and understand it better!

Students who read and comprehend the information do better in life. I want to make sure that my students always have books to read. I want them to love reading and have that excitement!
