My Project

I am requesting some different books. I am a new teacher this year and don't have as many books as I would like. I am specifically looking for picture books that I can do a read aloud with.

My main goal with this project is to collect rich literature that I can read aloud to my students and tie to their lessons.

There are so many good books out there that I can use to teach different skills. The books I am requesting tie into language work, writing work, and social emotional skills. I think reading books is a fun way to learn and they provide appropriate examples.

My classroom is filled with 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students. This age level still enjoys picture books and listening to others read. I know my class loves when we do read alouds and I want to be able to provide more opportunities to do so.
