My Students

Each day, approximately sixty first graders depend on me to teach them how to read. These students come from a variety of diverse backgrounds. Their families qualify for free lunch and often do not have the means to provide literature at home. So, I feel it is my role to provide them with rich literature experiences on a day to day basis.

Due to their backgrounds and limitations in resources at home, my students often enter elementary school significantly behind their more affluent peers.

My Project

My first graders are excited about reading and have made tremendous progress this year. Almost half the class is tracking to be on grade level - a huge feat for students who were a year behind when they reached my first grade room at the beginning of the year. As they become independent readers, their tastes in books are changing and they are drawn to chapter books, which are lacking in our classroom library.

I recently uncovered a Junie B Jones ring in the class - students trading the few titles they were able to get their hands on.

I want to help them have access to the series they love by giving them more options for classroom book check out. While the girls are stuck on the Junie B Jones series, the boys have shown interest in Flat Stanley and the Wayside School series.

This project would fuel their excitement and access to materials that are on grade level!
