I am requesting books to build a Sequoyah Book Library in my classroom allowing students to have access to a variety of Sequoyah books from years past. I am also wanting to add picture books to foster learning in their existing classroom library. To help my students gain a love for reading during the pandemic, I feel that having a book in print, that is engaging and nominated by their peers will inspire them to read for pleasure, increase their reading stamina and mold them into better scholars. My students will start the year off with a “Book Tasting” activity that will take place every 9 weeks. The book tasting will explain the rules of the “Sequoyah SmackDown" and introduce students to previous Sequoyah books to inspire their goals and desire to read. Students will need to read three books from the current year's list to participate in the state voting at the end of the year but also, each nine weeks students who have reached their nine weeks goal set at the book tasting will attend a Sequoyah Luncheon as an honored guest to celebrate lifelong readers. Sequoyah books are rich in culture and diversity and will bring a colorful plate of literature to my hungry readers. Please help by supporting our classroom Sequoyah Library.
