Growing the 1st Grade Library

Funded Dec 14, 2016

On behalf of the New Bridges 1st grade team, thank you so much for your donation! Our students have been able to use their new books to help them practice strategies to decode words, such as using the pictures and breaking the words up part by part. They have been able to read independently and build on their reading life.

In our classrooms, students spend a significant portion of the day engaged in their books. They independently read as soon as they arrive in the morning and after the reading workshop block. Along with building their enthusiasm, having these new books in their library has also helped increase their reading stamina, as they have fresh books to choose from.

As soon as they got to book shop for their new books, the students were elated! Your donation and what it has lead to for each of our classroom libraries is greatly appreciated! We thank you for your support and generosity.”

With gratitude,

Teacher Duncan
