My students are very passionate about learning and they love to show off their growing skills. They come from a wide variety of backgrounds and strive to be successful every day. Each and every student displays a different strength and skill set to put forth their best efforts in class.
Students in my school strive to showcase their skills and they develop and utilize literacy in order to successfully support the topics we are covering in the Family and Consumer Sciences Classroom.
They have a small but growing background in all things FACS. As growing teenagers and young adults, family and consumer science courses are so important to my students and are truly valued.
I am the family and consumer sciences teacher in a low income school district. Our school's family and consumer science program have become a root in our community. Many of my students and students in our district come from households with different family situations.
My Project
These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is something that I am working to expand, in order to promote literacy in the FACS classroom. Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have reached out to other FACS educators to see what novels they utilize to support their curriculum, and I have also asked the students what type of books they would enjoy reading. My students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy literacy time in the FACS classroom.
With these multiple copies of eight new books, my students will be able to promote their literacy and boost reading and writing skills while learning and tying in Family and Consumer Sciences content.
The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
Through this project students would be better able to add additional literacy techniques and fundamental reading skills. Each day students plead for the ability to showcase their technical skills and abilities and with this project they would be able to do.
