The first project I always tackle when I get my room ready is the books. My room is going to be filled with books. And not just any old books the room is going to be filled with amazing texts that will hopefully catch the attention of our students. One of my main goals as a teacher is to get students to fall in love with reading. For the students who already love to read, I just hope to continue to foster and grow that love of language.
When I was a student, I was not a reader. Now I read and read and read. I hope to take this passion of mine and try to pass it on. I think one way to do this is fill the room with a variety of amazing books by amazing authors and give students a chance to discover these books. Just today I found copies of The One and Only Ivan and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane and The Invention of Hugo Cabret and Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. I cannot wait to share these titles and more with the class. I did not get to all my books today but I did make a nice size dent in the project.
It is going to be an amazing journey this year and I cannot wait to get it started.
