My Project

My little readers are always looking for new and exciting books to read in the classroom. My goal for my little readers is to provide them with stories that are inspirational and motivating. These books will help build confidence and courage in my beginning readers. We love to have a fun read-aloud, spread out around the room and have silent reading time, or partner up with a buddy and read. This project would be a great addition to our classroom library!

These books will definitely inspire my students to show kindness and be true to themselves.

With a little encouragement and a fun motivating story, I believe my students will learn the true meaning of kindness and discover their self worth.
