My Project

First Grade is the grade where students learn how to read. As we are almost halfway through our year the world of reading is opening up and students are becoming more excited and confident to read different kinds of books. With the collection of non-fiction books that I have now, I can't put as many books as I would like to into the student's book boxes to read during our reading block. To help solve this problem I would like to add non-fiction books to my collection to put more texts in the hands of students.
