Do you know what makes our school the best place in the world? Other than the rock star teachers and creative little learners, it's the community that surrounds us. It's our classroom community, our school community and our small little community where we all live and support each other. My students come to school excited to learn about and explore their world every day! Our school is the only elementary school in our small town, so we really are a tight-knit family. That means if they need something, we work for it. If they make a mistake, they learn and grow from it. And if we can make our learning more meaningful and fun, we do it! Our students come to school excited to learn about and explore their world every day! However, back in August, many of our students and staff were exposed to a world they've never seen. Our community slowly began to disappear under water. Hurricane Harvey impacted many of our lives, but wouldn't know the loss by my the kiddos bright and shining faces you see each day, or the perseverance they show, or the kindness and friendship they pour from their hearts!
My Project
Our classroom was recently selected for a donation of leveled readers by a generous donor in NY and the Rebuild Texas Fund. I'm excited to say that they are now able to "check out" as many books as they want to take home, read, and return. Our next step is to ensure our books stay neat and organized as well as guarantee each student is successful in choosing a "just right" book for themselves. The leveled reader book cart we would like to add to our classroom would ensure both of these goals are met as well as allow for a lovely big-book display during our whole group story time.
