Reading/ELA

There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island. 
     - Walt Disney

Reading is the cornerstone to academic success. With this in mind, our classroom embraces literacy. Our classroom library has hundreds of books that each student may use in his/her book tubs or check out to take home. Each day we have Teacher Read and independent reading filled with student-selected books at their "just right" reading level. Nonfiction reading is abundant as well with Scholastic News, Internet sites, science and social studies selections along with the nonfiction books in our classroom library.

To say that I spend a lot of money each year on books for our classroom library is an understatement... just ask Mr. Standlee! Nearly every day, the students hear me say, "I bought this book for our classroom library! I think you are going to love it and here's why...!" I want to help students develop a passion for reading.
