My Students
My third graders are a great group of students! My classroom is made up of thirty eager third graders. I also have a wide range of reading and math abilities in my classroom. My reading levels range from pre-kindergarten to fourth grade.
It's important that I read with these children every day to get them on grade level by the end of the year.
Many of my students are very low readers, speak English as a Second Language, and get free or reduced-price lunch. All my students will do anything for anybody, especially the ESL students. We are always bringing the best out of everyone. Despite my students' backgrounds, they all have one thing in common, and that is their love of learning and helping others.
My Project
The book boxes will enable the students to safely keep their book reading choices. In using the Daily 5 system, the students will develop stamina in being able to work independently and read longer independently. They will be taught how to choose books that are "just right". Time will be provided for students to read from their chosen books and the boxes will give the students a sense of ownership and pride in storing their choices. The children love this concept but we need sturdy boxes to hold these in. The boxes will definitely keep the students' books more orderly and easier to access. These boxes could also be used to store our art work and writings. Studies show that if students are allowed to choose what they read they will read more, they will write more, they will feel that reading is not a chore, and they will feel empowered. These materials, if funded, will be used for many years to come. I hope you can help my third grade classroom.
