My Students

I teach in an elementary school that is part of a large school district. The school I work in is a Title I school highly impacted by poverty and very low academics. The students in my class are all very excited to learn and discover new things. There is also a high diversity of students consisting of mostly English Language Learners and a few homeless students. There is a buzz about books in our classroom. Students are provided with many opportunities to discuss what they are reading in small groups, large groups, and with reading buddies. The more books available for students, the greater the buzz becomes.

Help me build a classroom library with at least 10 books for each student.

Due to their low socioeconomic status, most of my student's​ families do not have the resources to buy any books for them to read and enjoy at home. I know these resources will help my class to be more literate.My students will really benefit from being able to have access to these books.

My Project

Our new Superintendent has challenged teachers to create a “book-rich” environment in every classroom. Book access is a significant factor in literacy development. Research shows that students in classrooms with high-quality classroom libraries read 50 percent more than students who do not have access to a library in the classroom. Teachers are encouraged to be “choosy” about the books in a classroom library and to avoid purchasing every outdated and dog-eared book from yard sales.

Students need to get excited about the books in the classroom library.

I'm requesting Let's Find Out, Best of Grades K-1 Picture Books, Classroom Library Must-Haves, and Caldecott Classroom Library Builder book sets.

Having a high-quality classroom library will allow me to present and display books in enticing ways that encourage and prompt interest, dialogue, and thinking. With a growing classroom library, the buzz about books in our classroom will bloom!
