My Project

We use Wit and Wisdom as our reading curriculum. I want my students to be able to build their knowledge to go along with our modules of studies. I want students to have access to books to read independently on topics we cover or books of the same or similar authors. I’m wanting to create bins students can access with books to grab while reading our modules. We have 4 modules throughout the year and some of the modules go along with social studies. Having access to these books will hopefully build their knowledge of the curriculum, but encourage independent reading! Our second module is around the book, "Hatchet." Students will be able to build knowldge about the boreal forest and the animals to help students better understand the events in "Hatchet."
