My Students
Second graders are the best! They are creative, curious, and funny. There is never a dull moment with them. In addition to content, they are learning when to listen and when to be social, how to collaborate and cooperate, and they are learning how to be independent, motivated learners. This is a lot! As a teacher, it is my job to make sure students are enjoying learning so that they continue to love school and become lifelong learners. One way that I can do this is by creating an environment that is comfortable, yet conducive to learning. The materials that I am requesting will help my students remain engaged and motivated learners, while providing lots of practice for the skills I am teaching.
The right book can set the whole tone for a lesson, whether it is a mentor text for a content area, to teach a social skill, or just read for the pure love of reading!
My goal is to have my students engaged and in love with reading and learning each day as they enter my classroom. Great books provide students with text that will engage and motivate them to become lifelong readers and learners!
My Project
The book sets chosen are for students to read in guided reading groups with me and with their classmates in literature circles. They are leveled so that students will be able to read them successfully while challenging themselves and each other to examine the literature and participate in discussions that promote higher level thinking and comprehension.
High-interest texts, such as Sharks, The Big Snow, and Snowflake Bentley hook readers and lend themselves to rich, meaningful discussion of text.
I am confident that my students will love the books I have chosen. I was mindful of the interests of the children I work with and can't wait for them to delve into these books.
It is always my hope to inspire my students to become readers for life, and I believe these books sets will encourage and lead them toward this goal.
