My Project

Picture books are essential for young readers. These books will help engage my class during reading time. Young readers need lots of great options as they begin their journey into books.

My wish is for my students to love books!

These books are a mix of Valentine's Day and spring books, many of which include characters they are already familiar with such as Pete the Cat and The Little Blue Truck. I strive to get books for my class that encourage them to become life long readers. Providing lots of fun choices in our book boxes is important in this endeavor.
