My classroom is an inviting place that encourages literacy gains for all students. I teach fifth grade, however I have many students who read from the Kindergarten level to above 6th grade. It is important to keep a classroom library that is diverse. I have one class that is an comprised of students who are learning the English language.

These students come with a desire to learn, no matter what language barrier is present.
