My Project

Our students love to read! We read and discuss books in a group during read-aloud time. We read books to ourselves during independent reading. Our favorite reading activity is usually partner reading.

Please help our classroom by providing books and pillows for reading!

We love to choose spots around the classroom to spread out and enjoy our books. We could use more picture books that teach and re-enforce social emotional learning. We have some but most of the students have been reading their favorites many times by this time of the year.
