My Project

These books will add greatly to the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. My students love it when I read to them! They truly are beginning to enjoy reading. Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-the reading levels in my class differ. I have chosen books for every student to be to read a book independently.

It is important to me for each child to be able to pick up a book, find a cozy spot, and read quietly to themselves.

By adding these books to our classroom, my students will have a chance to become lifelong readers.

Help me instill the love of reading into my 4th Graders. The various books that I have chosen are geared to spark interest, make connections, and give knowledge. My class loves to learn about the world, therefore the set of books from National Geographic will be well used by class.
