Book Bins For New Readers
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
My students are scholars, learners, writers, readers, and mathematicians. They speak English, Arabic, Spanish, Lao, Tibetan, Vietnamese and Tagalog and each brings their unique backgrounds to our classroom.
My students are shooting for the stars this year as they explore their inherent capabilities as learners, friends, and members of a classroom community that values kindness, diversity, and respect.
SES is a Title I school, which means that more than half of the families it serves come from low-income households. Twenty-five percent of students are English Language Learners, ninety-three percent are from low-income households, and one-hundred percent receive free or reduced lunch.
My Project
My students need personal book bins that contain books appropriate to their reading level. Currently, I have no system of differentiating reading levels for my students. Personal book bins would allow my students to move at a pace that is comfortable for them. I expect that reading levels in my classroom would skyrocket.
My students deserve access to personalized learning. I also want to provide my students with a selection of books that relate to our classroom theme. This is what I will use the larger bins for. The paper trays will be used for paper, but I also plan on using them for smaller activities at desks.
