The enthusiastic learner in me likes to find ways to improve my teaching to create lifelong learners. For this 2018-2019 school year, I came across a challenge by a former middle school teacher, Jillian Heise, called #classroombookaday. I will commit myself to reading 180 books, for 5-10 minutes a day, in order to bring back the joy of reading, while at the same time, creating opportunities for learning. Picture books are for all ages, particularly for those who need to be reminded of who they are and what they can be. The books have been carefully selected to reflect diversity and individualism, to be integrated with other subjects (science/STEAM/history/writing), and to empower students to change the world. There are so many more added benefits to reading aloud, I am certain it will have a powerful and joyful impact in my classroom. I will be sure to display the 180 titles on a bulletin board as a visual reference and have the books available for students to read on their own. I will give my students ownership of the project; they will help with the display, choose the books and read to their classmates. I look forward to having my older students pair up with the younger students as reading buddies, and spread the love of reading to them. Our school mission statement is: I Lead I Empower and Inspire Others I Am In Charge of My Learning I Determine My Path By funding this project, you will help in creating leaders for the next generation. YES, reading aloud to older students will make a difference!
