We are a small Title 1 School where >50% of our students are low income. Despite that statistic, we are an "A" school! Our students stay at our school from pre-k through fifth grade, so they grow up under our care.
My goal with my first graders this year is to not only teach them the academic standards set forth for first grade, but to also teach them to be independent, problem-solving thinkers who have grit!
I know we will have a great year!
My Project
Our first grade classroom needs quality leveled books to take us from kindergarten phonics-based readers to second grade chapter-book-champions! Our classroom came equipped with very few quality books that were fit to guide my kids from the CVC readers I get them as to students who read and comprehend chapter books, therefore i am hoping to build a classroom library that engages my kids and sparks a thirst for reading in them. I have selected an array of books that will spearhead our reading journey from sight words, to picture books, and finally to low-level chapter books so that my students enter second grade ready to rock and roll! Books are expensive, as you can see, so we are grateful for any donation amount to help kickstart our reading adventure! Thanks for investing in my kids’ futures!
