My Project

Please help me engage my students in the reading units that we will be studying this year!

Giving my students access to these books will help them deepen their understandings of the concepts that they are learning about as well as strengthen their love of reading.

The books I have selected are all additional research books to strengthen my students engagement in our reading units on frogs, literary classics, and access to clean water. Part of our school day is devoted to extra reading on the topics we are learning about and these books will help make this a possibility!
