Our 3rd grade students attend an elementary school in Brooklyn, New York. For many of our students English is their second language. They have been working hard to become stronger readers. Everyday they read for at least 30 minutes. They also conduct book talks to encourage others to read their favorite books. Our students work with their peers to complete many of their instructional activities. Group work allows them to build their understanding of the English language and their understanding of the instructional concept.
My Project
My students are working hard to become stronger readers. Currently more then half of my students are reading below grade level. With the table and chairs, my students can work as a group and receive my immediate individual attention. Group work will also encourage book talks. My students are English Language Learners. Book talks will allow them to better comprehend the text and encourage peer support through conversations. The chairs will allow my students to better focus on their work. They will be able to move in their seats and not interrupt other students from learning. This new reading station will get them excited about becoming stronger readers.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
