Hold It!

My students need book bins to hold books they would like to read. I have two blocks of about 25 students each for Reading, and each student needs his/her own book bin.

My Students

I am moving to third grade next year! I will be teaching Reading to two blocks of about 25 students each. So many children do not enjoy reading, and my mission is to help my students realize the enjoyment of getting lost in a book. Reading can take us to so many new and exciting places!

I teach at a school in the northern suburbs of Atlanta.

Our school is somewhat diverse, and about one fourth of our students are on free or reduced price lunch. We are also a special education center, which means we have about one third of our school that is considered special ed. I will teach two blocks of Reading to third graders. One of my blocks will be taught with a team teacher where our third grade special ed students will be included. Our school has been described as a "Norman Rockwell" type community school. We have a great history of success. Our students are very accepting of those who might learn differently.

My Project

When using The Daily 5, the students choose books they want to read. These books will be kept in the book bins. Each student has his/her own bin. When reading to themselves, to a classmate, or to me as their teacher, the students can choose one of their books from their bin. I chose these particular bins, because they are made of hard plastic, so they will not fall over and spill out the students' books.

Having these book bins will allow me to give each student his/her own.

They have ownership of the books they choose, and they have a place to keep them. This also will make it so that I do not have to use my own money to provide these to my students.
