My Project

Reading is truly one of my favorite things to do! Inspiring my students to read and giving them endless books to choose from is a major goal of mine. Some of my students come in and only like reading a certain genre or maybe even a certain length! With this project, my goal is to add informational books about a multitude of topics from history!

Some may be into historical sports moments, while others may be intrigued by Norse or Greek history!

Books can take you on all of the adventures without having to move from the comfort of your seat! As students get older, they often connect with informational text and real-life facts. The books in this project will add a new genre to our shelf! I look forward to watching them grow their love of reading and watching our bookshelf evolve to their needs!
