My Project

My second graders are eager learners, looking for every opportunity to soak up knowledge, books and new experiences. These students are enthusiastic and determined to learn despite the difficult distance learning situation they have been until recently. Many have very little experience with hands on learning and reading in physical books.

Our classroom library has been well loved and very happily used over the years and now it needs some help.

My group of students this year are so thrilled to be back in the classroom where they can get their hands on real books. For some it was over a year and a half that they had no physical books to read. I want them to have access to more current authors and stories to read at school. Our book selections should also represent our classroom community which is beautifully diverse. My students will enjoy exploring and learning with these stories every day!
