I teach first grade at E.C.C.A., and I have a diverse classroom of students from several countries including Vietnam, India, China, and Mexico. These students are working hard to learn English as their second language. I also have students from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds, many of whom do not have the resources to purchase books in their homes. My students need opportunities to engage in literacy opportunities that will help them grow as readers. This is my 9th year of teaching, but my first year in 1st grade. I am passionate abut providing opportunities for all students to learn!
My Project
In my first grade classroom, I value having a variety of books available to my readers. It can be challenging going to find books at the various reading levels that are a good fit for my developing readers. The books provided through this project would enhance my classroom library so that everyone has a book that is just right for them. Having a variety of books accessible to them daily is extremely important, Research shows that students need to be able to choose books that are close to their reading ability level. Thank you for investing in my students as they grow in their love for reading!
