My Project

I have a multiage classroom of Kindergarten and First grade students! My students are on a variety of ability levels in reading and math. The one thing that they all have in common are their love of read a louds!

Creating adventures through a variety of characters opens up a door for their imaginations to run wild!

Through these chapter books, my students will be given the opportunity to hear and see adventures beyond your regular picture book.

I want my students to love to read and modeling that behavior by reading to them daily creates that opportunity. I also have students who are independent readers and offering them a variety of choices will help foster that love of reading.
