My Project

My students have been learning about sharks and many have wanted or asked for the books we have been reading in class. I would love to let them have their own sets to read and explore on their own.

My group is in the resource room and many could not read at the beginning of the year.

However, they want to read and learn more than ever with the ocean books. I am very proud of how my students want to explore more about the animals and what is in the ocean.

Having these books of their own will let them explore the book at their own pace and allow them to read the books and explore the pages when they want especially during our free time throughout the day.
