My students work in a team-taught atmosphere and spend a ton of time together. We study Shakespeare (with costumes and props, the way it was meant to be read!), read a LOT of books, and are working to become excellent writers.
The students in my classroom see themselves on a learning continuum that always has endless space for improvement.
We work on projects and discussions together often, and we love to collaborate and share our talents. Some highlights of our year include reading Macbeth, writing research papers, and preparing United Nations themed speeches about different countries in conflict.
My Project
Once Upon a Book Club is a service that sends a monthly "book box" to a classroom. Inside is a new or popular Young Adult novel along with specially curated "book swag" designed to tie into the reading experience. We'd like to get a subscription to increase our classroom library and to build excitement around reading.
My second semester "Novel Experiences" class is designed to build reading stamina and enthusiasm, and getting this subscription would be a fantastic way to get that started!
We'd like to analyze how the "professionals" curate items to go with a box and then curate our own versions of those boxes for other classes to check out!
DonorsChoose is the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
As a teacher-founded nonprofit, we're trusted by thousands of teachers and supporters across the country. This classroom request for funding was created by Mrs. Hable and reviewed by the DonorsChoose team.
