Happy Thursday! Last week I wrote about Donor's Choose. I just got an email that my project was approved and is ready for donations! Super excited!
So what am I asking for? A classroom library that is full of appropriate leveled, highly engaging books! My school is what the county calls "fab 25", unfortunately this is the lowest scoring schools in the county. Now, when I started teaching two years ago I found these low scores to be very intimidating and challenging. However, the things I have learned teaching here has been irreplaceable and made me what to do anything I can to close the gap! I truly feel like I am making a difference everyday I walk into my classroom.
So, I am creating a project with books that my students will be excited to read. I think that it is so important to not only teach strategies in reading but also a love for reading. That's why I choose books that my students can read! Due to the challenges my ESOL face the thing they need most is confidence! Having leveled readers available in my classroom library will create a literacy community as children can read, share and love books!
I choose my books from Kaplan. They have some great classroom library with amazing books.
