Help me give my students a good reading environment with books and bookshelves. The shelves will house some new books that will encourage students to pick up a book and read. The stickers are for rewards.
My students are bright, sixth graders who are curious about the world, but might not always have the support at home or resources needed to learn and explore to their hearts' desires. They deserve some resources in the classroom at least that can give them the opportunities they needs to learn and expand their knowledge and abilities.
As we all know, COVID-19 has created a learning loss for many students that needs to be rectified.
Providing students with the access to resources like a wide variety of books (and bookshelves to browse through) will give them the opportunities they need to take their learning into their own hands and grow. As students continue reading a variety of books they can gain empathy for others and learn life lessons as well.
Students also need to be rewarded when they demonstrate knowledge, excellent behavior, growth, and more. Small classroom prizes like stickers give students a boost in mood that is often sorely needed and reinforce the idea of striving for excellence.
More than half of students from low‑income households
