Reading is the foundation to all other learning!
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!
Moore Magnet is a STEM magnet school that believes in giving students hands-on learning experiences and real world applications for learning.
Moore is a very diverse school that is comprised of inner-city students that are zoned for Moore and magnet students that come from all over our city. Moore receives Title 1 funds due to the fact that 64% of our students are considered economically disadvantaged. Our teachers here at Moore believe that every child can succeed and we will do whatever it takes to make it happen. We all strive to show honor, effort, attitude, responsibility, and teamwork every day. Moore is a great school!
My Project
Our 3rd-5th grade students will have the opportunity to check out these books, read them, complete a book review, and then compete in a quiz bowl style school wide competition. The top 6 in the school battle will then compete in the District wide Battle of the Books competition. Last year was the first year Moore competed and we came in 4th place. We hope to take home the trophy this year! This competition is not only fun and motivating for students, but it also helps with their reading comprehension skills.
The students and teachers at Moore work hard to succeed every day.
I want to be able to give them these books so they can compete in this district wide competition so show off our reading successes. This project will allow our students access to award winning literature and help put every child on the road to success in reading!
