This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
The school district of UC works to transform the lives of every student, every day. As teachers, we strive to meet our students on their level and provide real-world experiences that will prepare them for college and beyond.
My students come to school to learn how to compete in an ever-changing, competitive world.
Though they come from various backgrounds, it is my job to ensure that every student is engaged and challenged.
As a reading specialist, my goal is to create lifelong readers by engaging their interests and ensuring my students have a choice in their reading.
My Project
My students love coming to my room, grabbing a flexible seat (bean bag chairs, gaming chairs, and pillows), picking up their latest book, and diving into it.
I am always on the hunt for materials to make the reading environment as engaging as possible.
This project will replace a much-loved bean bag chair which has reached the end of its life, provide a Chromebook for students to access Google Classroom and online reading sites, and provide more choice in our independent classroom library.
All of these components help students make gains in their reading. Studies show that the number one way to raise reading levels is to read engaging books of the students' choice. Unfortunately, many of my students have a negative idea of reading. These materials allow them to learn that reading can be fun, relaxing, and something to look forward to.
