Ms. Atkinson’s Classroom Edit display name

My students are beginning to discover that they are capable of reading independently and they are so excited! They have been trying to read anything and everything they can find in our classroom. While I do my best to provide them with adequate reading materials, it is difficult given our very limited resources. Most of the books in our classroom library are extremely old and outdated, having been in the classroom long before I began teaching in it. The bindings on them are beginning to fall apart, and most of them are far too difficult for them to read. I see many of them becoming frustrated when they are unable to read the books and I don't want them to become discouraged. I want to provide my students with a classroom library that better suits their various reading levels. This is an exciting time for them and I want to equip them with the materials they need to boost their confidence and passion for reading. Having a new classroom library would mean so much to them and would keep them (and myself) excited about reading all year long!
