When you walk into our classroom, you will see a racially and economically diverse group of students, working together, talking, sharing ideas and challenging each other to learn and grow. The group is academically mixed, with some children performing well above grade level, and some for whom academic learning is difficult. Children with learning differences are fully integrated into the life of the classroom, and an outside observer would not be able to tell who is struggling academically and who is not. Because students have different strengths and learn in different ways, we create opportunities for students to both learn and express their knowledge in multiple ways. We value cooperative learning and children work together on projects to expand and demonstrate their knowledge.
My Project
Our library is a cherished and well-loved part of our classroom.
We love to have rich and engaging nonfiction books for kids to get lost in and discover new worlds.
Many of our large hardcover nonfictions books have been read and loved for so many years that it's time to rebuild that section of our library.
We also have a dream to have a more organized check-out system so that our books are sure to make their way back to our classroom. A library scanner will ensure that we can keep track of the books and our students' current interests.
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 Ms. Carrie McClean and reviewed by the DonorsChoose team.
