I teach at a model school that incorporates performing arts, visual arts, coding, computer science, financial literacy, and STEM (STEAM) within the curriculum. Our urban school receives federal funding for programs that provide free breakfast and lunch for every student, and Title I services to economically disadvantaged boys and girls.
We are a class that includes military families, gifted/talented students, ESL/ELL students, inclusion/special education students, and the tech savvy.
My students are energetic and very busy within the classroom. Even with parental support, I would love to say that my students have everything that they need to be successful. But they don't. We are preparing students for college, the workforce, and the world beyond, so they can have a better life.
My Project
It is that time of the year again. We want to keep using ReadingA-Z online and build reading fluency and comprehension at our own pace. We are requesting subscription renewal for Raz-Plus and VocabularyA-Z for the remainder of this school year and to start next school year. My students really enjoy reading books online. They get to choose books that interest them and they can take the book anywhere within the school and at home. My students are able to read books on their reading level without having to pull multiple books from the library. I enjoy the diversity of reading material in our stations and guided reading for all students. It cost a lot of money to keep a well-stocked, classroom library that can meet a student where they are or take them where they need to be. We really have enjoyed having ReadingA-Z as a part of our classroom over the last three years. Please help us to continue to benefit from this great online resource.
