My Project

Eighteen scholars enter my classroom every morning. These students are eager to learn, easily excited about lessons, and LOVE books. My classroom is a diverse community full of students from many different backgrounds.

I would like to provide my students with diverse texts that we can enjoy reading together, along with story cubes to enhance partner centers!

I know my students would love to add these diverse trade books to our classroom library. My goal is to enrich my classroom library so that all of my students have books available to read with characters that resemble them. These books would be a wonderful addition to our classroom.

With the chart markers, my students will be able to make whole-class anchor charts. The magnetic spice racks will be used to display our daily read alouds. All of these items will greatly improve our classroom!
