My Project

Our students are smart thinkers, that need more books in their classrooms, on newer topics to read about in order to keep them motivated and going for more academically and for social interests.

Books will be placed in multiple sections in the classroom, such as, the class library, the science center, and used for group work during lessons.

Students will have the opportunity to read the books for enjoyment and during instructional emergent activities to build on their reading skills and comprehension.

Our next unit will be on building relationships, ecosystems, and social settings such as amusements park.

These books selected will help student think deeper understanding these topics

Ms. Levy will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 2.
