This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are very inquisitive and kind. They love to learn and monitor their data. They are focused at most times, and have helped to create a peaceful and safe environment in our classroom.
The love all subjects, but especially reading and math.
We are a class that did not start together at the beginning of the year, (due to a teacher change), but we are together now as a great group of learners! We have accomplished great gains in our data, and are striving for more.
My Project
These quality books that I have selected will encourage my students to read for longer periods of time, thus building their reading stamina.
Diversified chapter books will help the students in my class by allowing them to read about people who look like them.
Unfortunately, the books that we have are older, and have seen better days. I do not have a great supply of grade-appropriate chapter books and books for my students who read on grade level and for those who read below grade level.
Giving students quality books to read that are on their level not only boosts their self confidence as a reader, it helps them as they utilize better reader strategies, and helps to develop their reading habits.
