Mrs. Root’s Classroom Edit display name

My students are mostly minorities from a high poverty area in a small town in North Carolina. They are eager to learn and love sharing facts with each other and teachers from their reading. Most of our students do not have access to books outside of school, so their non-fiction reading is limited to what I currently have in my classroom library and what is in our media center at school. Our school is a Title I school with around 600 students. As a school, our focus is that all instructional moments are used wisely. Reading is a priority in staff development and team planning as it is an area where our students struggle.
