My Students
I teach third grade at a diverse, Title I school in southwest Florida. Our students come from numerous cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. We are an "A" school and one of 27 schools chosen by The Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center (ECTAC) for "Exceeding Expectations." Through lots of hard work, our school continues to help our students succeed.
I encourage lots of independent reading time in my classroom, and I expect my students to read from a range of genres. I try to keep our classroom library organized by genre so that my students can easily find the books, authors, and series that they love. They love to read and get excited when we get new books!
My Project
For this project, I am requesting a variety of books that will help to expand and update our classroom library. I have included some new series that I know will engage my readers, such as "Ranger in Time" and "Enginerds." The more variety I can provide for my readers, the better chances I have of engaging and "hooking" each and every one of them. Thank you for helping me teach every child in my class to love reading!
“The more you read, the better you get, the more better you get, the more you like it; and the more you like it, the more you do it." -Jim Trelease, author of The Read-Aloud Handbook
