I am starting a new adventure teaching 5th grade after being transferred from junior high. Many of my current classroom novels are for older students, so I am working on providing age appropriate books in my new room.
My goal for having a rich classroom library is to encourage students to enjoy reading for fun so they can become successful life-long learners.
By having an in-class library with a wide variety of books at multiple grade levels, I hope to support students in their literacy journey so they can truly believe that reading is fun.
I have not met my students yet but I am excited for us to start this new journey together!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
