My Project

My students are always asking questions and extremely curious about the world around them. I try to expose my students to a variety of new and exciting things in the world around around them. I am working on building my guided reading library so I can introduce them to things they have never seen or things they have shown a huge interest in. I want my students to be excited about reading and I want them to enjoy the books they are reading. Nonfiction books are the books my students choose the most and I want to have a wide variety of books for them to chose from. I want to be able to expose them to the world around them through reading.

Grades 3-5
