My students need books to read in their classroom! These are some of the favorites that my classroom library does not have! They especially want the Unwanted Series and the Wrinkle in Time Series.
I teach 25 students in the fourth grade! In my classroom, I teach my students math, science, reading, writing, health, and social studies. I am hoping to provide them with the knowledge they need to be successful not just in elementary school but in life! Because of this, I also try to instill leadership values and a positive work ethic. Each one of my students is unique, but they are all hardworking, bright, and full of energy!
My students come from diverse backgrounds and have a large range of academic, emotional and behavioral needs.
We have about 500 students with approximately 24 students per class. My school qualifies as a Title 1 school, but we do not receive any Title 1 funding or support. Because of this, a large portion of the classroom must be funded by the teacher. I want my students to have a safe, comfortable and engaging environment to learn, grow, and develop in. Since it is my first year as a teacher, I don't have a lot of the resources needed to supply my students with what they need.
My Project
My kids need books to read in my classroom. I have talked to my current kiddos and taken a survey of the books they would want to have in a classroom library. These books are typically checked out of the school library, so it is difficult for them to get their hands on the books they love most! We do a lot of reading in my classroom, so I think it is very important for them to have access to these books.
I think one of the best ways to foster a love for reading in my students is to have books available that appeal to their many interests.
I am hoping by receiving these books in my classroom that all of my students will have something they want to read. Since it is my first year teaching, I do not have the resources to buy all the books that my students want. Hopefully, with this fund, I can get some more books into my classroom library!
