My Project

In our Reader's Workshop, students are expected to read independently for 10-15 minutes each day. Having access to on-level books that are both engaging and informative is necessary for their success.

My dream is to have a variety of books that my first graders can choose from that would help encourage them to read independently.

My goal as a teacher is to foster a love of reading in my students, and I can do that by offering them an assortment of reading options. Developing a love of reading will help my students on their path to success.
