Reading and Working Together

Help me give my students these books and Scholastic News to gain a better understanding of the world around us. The table will give students a place to work either alone or with others.

My Project

The books and Scholastic News will be used to increase student interest and learning of the world around them. While we do have access to books online, many students prefer to have a book in their hands. The floor table will be an ideal spot for students to collaborate on their learning with others or use as a quiet place to work alone.

These resources will help with the learning of my students by providing them with materials relevant to our units and giving them flexible seating opportunities.

My students are energetic, curious, and kind. Throughout our units this year, they have asked many questions and researched to find the answers. They love working and learning together.
