My students come from low socioeconomic and diverse ethnic backgrounds. They are amazing and strive always to do their best.
Many of them are in situations where they are not supported at home academically or behaviorally.
In our classroom, my job is to provide a structured environment where students can safely achieve their highest academic and social levels. Our district did not prepare for the amount of students they would get, and I've recently been hired to teach half the class.
This project would reach all of the fourth and fifth graders in our school.
My Project
Books Books Books! I've been collecting books since I decided to be an upper elementary teacher about a year ago, and while I've managed to collect a few, our library needs help! Most of the students in my classroom do not have book collections at home, so they need these books!
The small groups of books in this project will be used for book clubs and literature circles.
Students will be able to choose from a range of levels and settings with protagonists from all ranges of life. I was sure to choose some books from around the globe to expose my students to our wide world! Thanks for your help!
