While my scholars love school and come to their classroom daily ready to explore what the day will bring. They are limited due to the lack of reading and writing resources we have for our classroom. My students need multiple opportunities to engage and interact with literature to increase their speaking, reading and writing vocabulary. Because our classroom lacks furniture and books to create a library that promotes reading interest, I have many students who will choose other learning interests to explore. The reading furniture and literacy bins will allow students to have a designated library area to foster literacy in the classroom. Additionally, our classroom lacks a writing area to attract student's interest and passion for writing. This is important to promote student's fine motor skills (such as grasping, etc.) as well as integrating writing across content areas. The writing center will allow students to become great writers and learn the importance of communication using writing.
