Inspiring Books for Growing Minds
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Project
This is my twenty-first year teaching first grade in a rural town in northeast South Dakota. My students are fun, energetic, smart kids who love to listen to stories.
Please help me get fun book titles that will catch my students' attention and help them be excited about learning and writing. The titles I have selected are fun stories that will help students get excited for the writing projects that each book will lead into. Several of the books that I selected have great picture clues that will help my beginner readers "read" the book themselves after we have listened to it as a class.
I am super excited to get these new books, read them to my class, and add them to our classroom library for students to continue to enjoy them!
