I do a class book club, where we read and have discussions about the book as a class. I also do something called \"First Chapter Thursday\", where I read the first chapter of a different book every week. This allows students to hear the first chapter of a book and see if they would like to read it. I love doing this, because it may not be a book students would choose just by looking at it. By hearing that first chapter, it may change their mind and become a book they love!\r\n\r\nWith these new books in our classroom, students are provided with a variety of different genres, including nonfiction and historical fiction. Students are able to learn about historical figures and events., while enjoying a good book at the same time! These go along with lessons from our curriculum and really help students stay engaged! My whole class is so excited about the new books and they have all been wanting to read them. \r\n\r\nIn our classroom, we read every single day. We have independent reading time, along with reading throughout the day with our curriculum. Students who are reading quietly can even earn time to read in our Reading Corner! I highly encourage reading at home as well. Reading is extremely important in our classroom and getting to add these exciting, new books has been wonderful for my students! Your generosity has made such a positive impact in our classroom!
