My Project

I have been able to provide my students with a small classroom library. However, with the school year being well through the first half, many of my students have read through the books I have been able to provide. My students have created a list of books they believe the upcoming 5th graders will love to read! These books will give students a wider selection of books that they are personally invested in. Some of the books selected by my students are popular titles series that have had new books come out: Catkid, Babysitters Club, and The Bad Guys. Students will read these books during stations and independent reading time. This project also supplies my students with pencils so they can write about their reading. This year my students are very into book series and we would like to organize our book series in our classroom library.

Being able to read and comprehend are necessary skills students need to develop to be successful not only in school but in their lives after school.

I hope to encourage my students to read for the rest of their lives not just to learn but also for pleasure. Through providing my students with books of their choosing, I can help students to see that there is always a good book available to pick from!
