First grade is such a special age. My students are full of wonder and excitement, and, best of all, they are extremely eager to start reading. Most of my students are emerging readers, so they often come to 1st grade only knowing their letters and corresponding sounds. It is incredible to watch them grow into proficient readers throughout the school year. They truly transform before my eyes.
Giving my students a cozy reading nook will give them a special place in the classroom to fall in love with reading and explore new places, people, and ideas through the magic of books. I will use the comfy couch and book organizer to create a tiny piece of home in my classroom where students can explore books, read independently, and get lost in the joy of reading. With the book shelves and cozy sitting spots, the space can be used in many ways like reading, working collaboratively, and doing listening and speaking activities during literacy centers.
I know my students' faces would light up as soon as they laid their eyes on this cozy library nook. As a first grade teacher, it is my goal to teach my students not only to read, but to become readers who use books to research, explore, discover, and become lifelong learners.
