My Project
Hello and thank you for your interest in my project.
In this project, I have included some new books for my classroom library.
The students are really into graphic novels. When I saw The Magic Treehouse has a graphic novel collection, I knew I had to add them to the project. I have been trying to get the students to read the series, but have failed. I think this will get them excited to start the series. I have also included some of the Who Am I books. Last month we read biographies of famous black Americans, and the students loved it. I included more of these books, so we can enjoy more of these types of books. I also included some of the Teacher from the Black Lagoon books. I used to have a lot of them, but the students borrowed them, and they never got returned. I have a few students who really like the series and would love to read more of the books.
