Brazos Bend appreciates all the new books and new shelves we received from PTO. Over the years, we have had books lost, worn out from use, and some that are outdated. That is why we needed new books. We needed books that were new, bright, and kept our reader’s engaged. This will influence our students in many ways. It will give them a chance to read a variety of text, become better readers and they will become excited about reading. The Reading and Writing TEKS changed this year, which allowed our district to purchase a new reading adoption (Fountas and Pinnell). The adoption came with many different resources for the teachers and students. The Adoption is Amazing! It came with leveled guided reading books for all grade levels, with 108, 000 books. After receiving all the books, we realized we needed a place to store them. The PTO graciously stepped in and bought us 18 new bookshelves. What a relief! Brazos Bend would like to thank the PTO for supporting our readers and our future leaders.
