My Students

It's amazing how quickly each year goes by. This year, I have 25 students in my classroom. My students are fun-loving, kind, and supportive of one another. We love cooperative learning, working with partners and small groups, and interacting with each other. There is a positive energy in the room around learning and growing.

My Project

The books in this project are all high interest to my current students. Some of the books are nonfiction topics that we have already studied this year, and students have asked for more resources in room. Other books either add to book collections in our room or will allow us to create a new tub for a series of interest (and at the just right level for many of my readers).

These books will be hard to keep in the classroom library once they are shipped because they will be in students' hands or in their book bins!

That's ok because that is where the magic happens! Having just right books to fill student book bins for independent reading time is so important, and these resources will do just that!
