Leveled Library for Strong Readers

Help me give my students a leveled library that we can use in small groups and individually. Also, construction paper to help with art projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rhodes's classroom raised $967

My Project

With Covid-19, last year during Kindergarten, my students this year are a mix of students who were completely remote for the first two months of school and then came back in person the rest of the year in person, and those who stayed remote the whole year. Luckily, this year we have been in person the whole year.

These students did not have physical books in their hands last year and having a Leveled Book library in my classroom will help enrich my students reading experience even more.

Although they have had books from my classroom library to read, my students would benefit from leveled books as well. They will be more interested in reading as they will have books that they can read on subjects that they enjoy reading about. When students are abled to read the books because they are on their level, they will learn to love to read instead of being frustrated that they can't read the book they have and give up. We will be able to use these books not only in small groups, but the students will be able to "check out" these books to put into their book buddy bags to read during reading time.

We also do many art projects throughout the year that require construction paper and a case of paper will go a long way to help out in our class.
