Help me give my students books that are windows and mirrors for the diverse students in my classroom and flexible seating like stools and balance balls to accommodate all the different learning styles in our classroom.
We are a diverse group that have different home languages, different family structures, but we have all found that we love learning together. My students enjoy reading so much and I am trying to build a classroom library that showcases books as "windows and mirrors" so that they can see themselves reflected in stories as well as see a diverse range of people represented in books. I would also like to incorporate flexible seats to accommodate my range of learners to help them focus in the best way possible.
My Project
This project is to help me create a classroom library that can be used in person or virtually by my students for them to have access to books that are "windows and mirrors." I want books in my classroom that are written by and about people of color, people with different abilities, and picture women and men doing incredible things with their lives. I want them to see themselves in my books or be able to see others in a new light. My heart is for my students to find books in my room that inspire them!
I would also like to have flexible seating options in my classroom to accommodate the diverse group of learners that I have.
Many students thrive when they can be in seating options that allow them to collaborate, or change positions, or be able to use their energy. I have include modular stools that can be used as seating or tables, as well as balance balls to help students be able to focus while we are learning.
I want students to be able to enter my classroom and find a spot they are comfortable learning and have a book in their hand that inspires them! My 4th graders are worthy of this environment and I am hopeful to provide that for them. Inspiring a love of books and reading is a HUGE part of my job and I hope that each of my students can find themselves in a book.
