Help Feed Readers' Imaginations with Classroom Library!

My students need an exciting, leveled classroom library to feed their growing imaginations when reading during Readers Workshop and Drop Everything And Read time.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. B.'s classroom raised $623

My Students

Vince Lombardi once said, "Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile." I agree with Mr. Lombardi, and will go a step further to say, "Readers are made, they are not born."

Due to consecutive low test scores--including less than 25% achieving proficient in reading--my school was chosen to be a turnaround school in Washington, DC.

This year, myself and the turnaround staff begin a five-year plan that will work to ensure that our students-- all low-income-- will achieve at high levels. More importantly, that they will be on path to college and lifelong success.

My Project

As the 3rd grade literacy teacher, I will use Readers Workshop to empower my students to become avid readers. Readers Workshop is a lauded curriculum nationwide, and is used in many of the nation's most successful charter schools. A huge component of Readers Workshop is a leveled classroom library. Students select books on their reading levels during independent reading time each day in an effort to give students the freedom to choose books that are of interest to them. It focuses on reading comprehension and teaches students to critically analyze text by asking questions and making connections. Additionally, Readers Workshop includes peer conferences, teacher conferences with students, and a sharing component. Each part helps students to become independent readers outside of the classroom. As a recent DC implant, your help in building our classroom library is very timely since many of my classroom books could not be transported with me. My readers are counting on you!

All students deserve quality books that they'll enjoy reading.

I'm sure you still remember those great books you read as a child. My personal favorite is Dr. Seuss' Oh the Places You'll Go. Your generous support will help my students select their favorite books that they'll cherish a lifetime. Thank you!
