My Project

My first grade students are eager readers who love learning about the world around them. To support their growing curiosity and help them meet their Accelerated Reader goals, I am requesting a collection of engaging nonfiction books for our classroom library. These books will provide valuable reading practice and expose students to a variety of topics, especially animals, which are always a favorite!

Having access to high-interest, age-appropriate nonfiction texts at their reading level will encourage them to explore, ask questions, and develop a strong, lifelong love for reading and learning.
