My Project

My third graders love to read and are continuing to practice their independent reading skills. These novels will help fill my classroom with books my students would love and authors they enjoy.

The goal is to help encourage and foster the love of reading by filling our classroom library with high interest books for third graders.

They are learning to love reading novels, and exposure to a variety of types of literature can help foster the love of reading. I want to have a variety of books for them to explore as they continue their reading journey.

These books will also give my students access to books with a variety of different types of characters. This can help expand their world view and expose them to different cultures. Students will also be able to grow emotionally because fiction helps foster empathy and understanding.
