My Project
I strive to make ALL of my students lovers of books! Not just readers, but little humans that truly appreciate the words, pictures, tone, themes, morals, visualization, and connections that we love to glean from great literature. However, the truth is that not all of my students come to 2nd grade reading independently. They are sometimes frustrated and may act out because of their frustration.
Being read to is essential for young people.
We read many text every day. However, I would love to have headphones for each of my students so that they are able to listen to stories and nonfiction texts that are of specific interest to them personally. There are many websites that offer these “read to you” books but in a classroom, each student needs their own headphones to mange the noise level.
As mentioned before, there are some students that come to school frustrated and exhibit behaviors that need to be corrected. We use a variety of charts to help correct these. I would love to have a color printer in our classroom to be able to print my students daily behavior charts in color. I feel that a color sheet is far more incentivized than a plain, boring, faded, black and white copy.
More than half of students from low‑income households
