Rooted in Reading

My students need these books to help foster a love of reading diverse books. These books supplement a reading program I am currently using.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lander's classroom raised $259

My Students

I teach reading and writing to 45 energetic and enthusiastic learners. They enjoy reading, math, science, and STEM lessons. Our school is a high performing elementary school where students thrive with enrichment opportunities.

My students love hands-on lessons where they are able to work together and explore.

I strive to provide my students with hands-on and interactive activities. Our classroom community and collaborative atmosphere enable the students to go deeper with their knowledge while learning to listen to the opinions of those around them.

My Project

We will be using these books to supplement a reading program that I am currently using. Rooted in Reading goes through comprehension skills and grammar skills while focusing on a book a week. These books relate to themes in the month and provide great conversations in class.

My students love Rooted in Reading, and look forward to a new book every week!

These are books that I do not currently have that are needed to complete Rooted in Reading until December. This project would be beneficial because I am moving to third grade with many of my students from last year, so this will expose them to more new books!
