This fall is my first year teaching! I love each and every one of my students and I don't even know them yet. I am trying to prepare and build a classroom that promotes fearless learning and need the resources to help my students expose their strengths and reach their full potential.
Diversity creates unrivaled strength when it is unified in a caring classroom community that recognizes collective responsibility.
I want a classroom that knows WE NEED EACH OTHER! To help foster this type of classroom I will need to grow a diverse classroom library that will empower my students and ignite their imaginations. My hope is that my classroom library will be able to give my students the experiences through reading that they have yet to experience in real life. These experiences will allow them to appreciate each other and make connections to one another that would otherwise be impossible.
My Project
As a first year teacher I will need to build many aspects of my classroom over time. My classroom library is the one area that I believe needs to be built first, and built well. These books will allow my students to be who they are meant to be. Through the exploration of different books my students will be opened to new and exciting experiences. They will see and come to know things for the first time!
Reading a great book is a gift and my classroom will be a place that provides a diverse array of book choices for each student no matter what their interest may be.
I am hopeful that this project will allow me to have my classroom library close to where it needs to be for my students.
