Each child knows they are a valuable member of our whole school community. Our school is in a low income district. Our staff has set high expectations for students and collaboratively worked to make our school one of the top performing schools in the district. Our students value education and strive to achieve every goal they set across all academic areas. Achieving these goals are not always easy as factors outside of school can impact student learning.
Despite these outside factors, my students arrive each day prepared to take risks, overcome obstacles and accept every challenge we place in front of them.
Each student and staff member knows they play a key role in our learning community. Together we learn from mistakes, revisit curriculum and take learning to a whole new level. One team. One goal. No limits.
My Project
Second Graders are so excited about Reading. Reading chapter books is a huge motivator mid year in second grade. A comfy corner where students can curl up with a good chapter book is exactly what my students need. Often times, students have difficulty getting comfortable during Independent Reading. Comfy bean bag chairs and a rug would provide the perfect place to spend Independent Reading time.
My students need a reading nook, where they can become lost in the literacy they are reading.
A place that provides them with the opportunity to imagine themselves in the character's shoes. Our classroom has the perfect corner to create a comfy reading nook. Comfy chairs and a rug would continue to build my students love for reading. Please help my students achieve their 2018 Literacy goals by providing them with a space to become lost in literacy.
