Books Needed For Book Clubs!

My students need sets of literature circle books so that each student can have a copy during our book club meetings.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Staab's classroom raised $780

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach a 3rd/4th grade multi-age classroom in an urban school district in Washington. Many students at our school come from low socio-economic backgrounds and need all of the resources they can get at school.

I am a fifth year teacher needing some help to equip my classroom library with chapter books for my developing readers who need to continue being challenged.

I have a wide range of levels and a large group of advanced readers who need 4th and 5th grade level chapter books to keep them engaged!

My Project

In this project, I have requested a variety of chapter book sets so that I can have multiple copies for students to read during our books clubs/literature circles. Students will be meeting in groups with their own copy of the same book so that they read individually and discuss their thoughts on the story as it develops. Book clubs have worked successfully in my classroom in the past and I see a huge benefit in seeing students learn how to discuss with each other about books and be able to share ideas or disagreeing thoughts in appropriate and polite ways. My students will be challenged greatly from books clubs especially as they grow as readers and thinkers.

Thank you for reading about this important project!

There is no greater satisfaction for a teacher than to see her students become absorbed in books! Please help me to provide my growing readers with the needed challenge to spur on their reading and fall even more in love with books!
