My Project

Books are the cornerstone for learning, especially in an elementary school. The books I have chosen will be used along with an app called Novel Effects. This pair will keep students engaged and laughing while learning important social skills.

Reading books to children stimulates their imagination and increases their understanding of the world.

It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word as well.

The books will be used in K-5 classrooms throughout the school year. We will focus on the main idea and connect additional curriculum paths to our learning.
