My Project

My students have fallen in love with reading. As a second grader, they have moved into chapter books. This year I cannot keep the My Weird School series stocked in my classroom. So what better way to avoid the summer slide than to provide each student with 4 chapter books to keep them reading this summer. If you don’t yet know, this series has very interesting characters that do interesting things. As they read they can also write in their summer writing journal. What better way to keep them reading and writing by keeping a journal and reading books that they love.
