My Project

I love it when students clap after I read a great book! They love great literature and crave more! Some students at Eagle Nest may not always get a bedtime story. They may not have a library of books in their homes. Some students may be looking for great books to add to their library. I want to provide whatever my kiddos need!

The books that I have selected will be great mentor texts to compliment our reading lessons.

Students will learn rich vocabulary, learn to ask and answer questions about texts, and fall in love with great literature!
