The books you provided have stories about children like us from around the world. \r\nThere are picture books and chapter books so we can all find a book we can read. There are both classic books and contemporary books, fiction and non-fiction, art, poetry, and history books. The rug is cozy and we put our pillows on it and curl up and read, using the clipboards to write. It's nice to be able to shop for books we like right here in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1756849187309,"projectUrl":"project/word-tacos-wanted-iso-books-and-a-cozy/9410584/","projectTitle":"Word Tacos Wanted!

Reading in our classroom often looks like small group discussions where they share insights, predictions, and favorite parts of the story. \r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially connected with the new books.
