My Project

As a second-year teacher, I have been slowly updating my classroom library to meet the needs of my students, which can be a difficult and costly endeavor. Post-pandemic I have seen a need for many more social-emotional learning books so students feel seen and can learn about how to manage their emotions. The books in my list from the series "A Kid's Book About" are crucial to bringing a variety of important topics that impact my students into the classroom.

I have also seen a growing need to utilize all of the amazing new nonfiction books that are available to this age group.

We are currently entering a nonfiction reading unit where students are tasked with reading nonfiction picture books, graphic novels, chapter books, and biographies. Thank you for supporting my classroom!
