Description

Third Grade will excitedly set goals for their upcoming year by learning about different series available in the library. They’ll identify their own interests and experiences and match those to series they can connect with. 

I like using this activity on the first day of school. It can also be used any time you introduce the concept of Books As Mirrors to students. 

They’ll also learn how to sit and listen to a story, transition from a story to independent work, and how to work independently. After downloading this resource you will receive print and digital activities for Grade 3 to learn about the library, series of interest, and set library goals.

👉🏼 To download the materials be sure to click the link and then click the download arrow in the upper right hand corner. This will save the files to your computer.

👉🏼 Let’s stay connected! Be sure to sign up for my newsletter where I share tips, tools, & tricks to increase engagement without increasing your prep time!
