My students are an amazing group of young learners. I couldn't have asked for a more enthusiastic, thoughtful, and caring bunch. They come into the classroom every day with smiles on their faces and are ready to attempt anything and everything that comes their way!
My first-grade students love to learn, grow, and explore through reading every day.
My classroom is part of a high needs school and low-income school district. Our diverse classroom community includes students with a wide range of abilities and skills, as well as many students that are bilingual in English and Spanish.
My Project
As a first-year teacher, I have been striving to create a classroom environment that is engaging, welcoming, and inspiring to my students. I consider my classroom library corner to be one of the most important and most used areas of the classroom. I would love for my students to have a comfortable space that they can use to dive into their favorite books.
A library is a place for students to explore, think, grow, and use their imagination.
The couch, floor cushions, and bean bag will be used in our library area for comfortable and flexible seating during independent and partner reading. The addition of leveled books for emergent readers and books with Spanish text for bilingual students will give my students more options to choose from for their daily reading.
