My Project

My students want to explore different books and find what interests them. These books and resources will allow them to have a variety of different books that they can access as well as activities to enrich learning. My goal is to provide the students with an array of reading opportunities to grow the joy and love of reading. The books and activities will be incorporated into classroom routines where students will have the opportunity to read and share about their new books; what they liked, didn't like, what was unexpected and what they would add, change, or delete. The books where they have options to choose their ending will give them added opportunities for repeated reading to increase fluency and comprehension while giving the students the novelty of a new ending each time they read it. The activities will allow for the students to practice new vocabulary with their classmates. This in turn will help motivate the students and enrich the classroom with new material and content the students will have access to.
