My Project

I have started a new school this year and I do not have a strong, high interest library for my students. I am interested in creating a colorful and interesting library for them, that will make them want to read everyday.

I wish for them to read to learn while learning to read.

I have always had a love of reading and would love for my students to feel the same!

In my classroom, I plan to give my students book baggies, where they can choose books each week to read and replenish, when needed. Also, I will be able to create reading groups based on their reading levels and level of interest with the books I receive. I would be able to facilitate book clubs. In addition, I would be able to introduce my students to all different types of genres.
