Read Around the Room: Who Wants to Read at a Table Anyways?
My students need lap desks to work in different areas of the room and informational texts to help build their skills and knowledge.

My Students
My classroom is place where I encourage reading. I want students to be life-long learners, and I believe reading is the way to ignite this process. I assign certain texts and allow them to choose others on their own. We need a place for reading to happen.
My students are high school age.
Some are college-bound, but many of them are not. We live in a high poverty area where a large portion of our student body k-12 is on free or reduced lunch. By the time students reach me, many of them have jobs or are caring for younger siblings. I want to make my room a comfortable place where they can just relax and not have to worry about all the things going on outside of the building. This will help them focus on the learning happening within our room because they can work in all areas.
My Project
These materials will be used in both English and social studies classes. Students will use the lap desks to work in different areas of the room. My students want to be comfortable and are more engaged when they are comfortable; these lap desks will allow them to work when not sitting at a desk.
The classroom magazines will form part our literacy stations. My students need to build skills with informational text. They also lack knowledge of current events around the world. I want them to be engaged and inquisitive citizens.
I believe that movement and interest are keys to getting students engaged and focused on learning.
These two items will allow my students to move, which is good for their brain and focus, and become excited about reading.
