I have 28 eager and energetic 3rd grade students who enjoy working collaboratively in partnerships, enjoy moving around the classroom, and frequently engage in critical thinking. These students thrive on frequent movement breaks and are always looking forward to the opportunity to interact with their classmates outside of the structure of the classroom.
The school I work in consists of K-5 elementary students.
We are a national Blue Ribbon School and take part in the Green School initiative. Our school is a Culture of Thinking school that takes part in many critical thinking activities.
My Project
I have become a book-a-day-classroom! Each day, every day I read one picture book to my class and we discuss the theme of the book and why the author wrote the book. My kids look forward to this every day.
I plan to read 180 picture books to help build a classroom of students who love to read!
This has an will continue to help my students appreciate illustrations, pay closer attention to the writing craft of authors and find deeper meanings within text of picture books.
Books like Let Me Finish!, Wild About Us! and The Name Jar will help my students connect to characters and build upon their social and emotional needs. The Day-Glo Brothers: The True Story of Bob and Joe Switzer’s Bright Ideas and Brand-New Colors and Bubble Gum: How Dubble Bubble was Invented allow students to see how dreams can come true! This entire list of books that I have requested will allow my students to gain a greater love of reading as well as continue to develop their imagination, social and emotional skills.
Your donations will help build my book-a-day-classroom library. These books teach social and emotional issues as well as content related ideas. I am helping to build a classroom of readers and appreciate the support of any donations to make this happen.
