This project is to help me prepare for my brand new third grade classroom. I have taught first grade for three years and I now have the privilege to move up and teach third grade at my school. I am beyond excited! However, it is tough switching grade levels because most of the time you need new materials. These materials will help supply my classroom as well as make learning exciting for my new group of students in August!
I am striving to make a fun and engaging classroom for all of my students - while providing a safe and encouraging environment all year long. With these resources, my students will be able to pick from a plethora of books that actually appeal to them and their personalities! Coming from first grade, I have very few books at the levels that these students need to be successful. Third grade is a crucial time for reading development and honing in on skills - this is the first year students participate in End of Grade testing.
Students will be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. Students show an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the books they choose.
I want to push my students to be the best learners that they can possibly be. I want them to know that I believe in them and support their wildest dreams. You are helping me in doing that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
