This year in first grade my goal is to create a classroom library that is filled with amazing books that show people from all walks of life, as well as books that can be used to teach reading strategies. The books I am requesting for my classroom are all high quality mentor texts that will help me to teach my students essential reading skills such as fluency, expression, inferencing, predicting, making connections, understanding point of view, and identifying theme or message.
These skills are vital to students' success in reading, both in the classroom and beyond.
The books I have chosen also teach important life skills such as perseverance, problem solving, being a good friend and most importantly having a growth mindset!
