My Project

This project has some really great holiday book titles that are of high interest to my students. I have noticed that my book collection is outdated and does not have titles or characters that my students currently connect with. These books will offer daily reading stories that will be available for choice library reading time as well.

I have chosen books with characters and topics that my students are interested in hearing and reading on their own.

Students are always excited to read stories that they feel connected to or can find interest in the characters. I hope to update my library to offer stories that my students can relate to and choose to read over and over again with joy.
