My students need Bluford Book Series, Non-Fiction, Classic, and Genre specific books for use in their Listening Center to promote reading comprehension.
Reading well is the first step towards opening the door to your dreams. I facilitate learning so that my students will have what they need to create reality from dreams that I can only imagine!
Our NC public school is in a city that serves the second largest military base in the US.
We are a diverse class of 4th graders who come to school eager to learn. My entire class is interested in what is happening in their world and how they can make it a better place for all of us. They are bright, eager to learn, and are always wanting more science knowledge and love hands-on activities. We are experiencing major budget cuts in NC and we do not have money for extra activities that enhance learning.
My Project
I keep my students active and learning all the time. We play hard and work hard! This means that they are always learning and developing skills that will help them become global learners. I want them to dream big! One way of doing this is by placing books of all genres into their hands! The Bluford Series of books are excellent for readers of all levels. These books are interesting and provide students with real life experiences in a format they can understand. My students will read and discuss and make foldables on the books they read and apply these skills to all of their subjects. We need books that are challenging for my students. Books on CD's enable students to read more advanced literature and accelerates their learning. More difficult non-fiction books can be read many times while students become familiar with new vocabulary. The Bluford Series books that I am requesting will help my advanced learners read independently.
Reading well is crucial to students of all ages.
My students need the Bluford Series books from Townsend Press and books on CD to help them advance in their reading skills. Integrating the reading curriculum with science and social studies books will give them a broad knowledge of their world while developing critical thinking skills. Please help my students become global learners!
