My Project

After two years of teaching second grade, I am moving down to first! This means I will need to adjust my classroom library to best support the needs of these early readers. I have a classroom of fourteen beautifully diverse learners who are eager to learn and love to read.

I am hoping to utilize more decodable texts in my classroom, both for kids to read independently and for me to use with small groups, to align my teaching practicing with science of reading and to best support each reader's needs.

Through this DonorsChoose, I will have so many additional resources to share with my students. They will have access to books that they are able to read and that align with the phonics I will be teaching them. My current classroom library does not have many decodable texts, so this project would help make such a difference for my first graders!
