My Project

This is my first year in third grade and the books that we have access to are currently in rough shape. Many of the books my team and I use for our readers that are ready for chapter books are taped together or even missing pages from the year of use.

Help me provide my readers with books that are complete and do not need taped multiple times while reading and discussing in reading circles and group time.

We thankfully have access to a few picture book style books for reading time but I do feel that many of my readers need exposure and access for reading in small group learning to chapter books that are engaging but also extend their thinking and learning to new levels.
