My students need guided reading book sets for small group reading instruction and partner reading, along with various literacy games to supplement our curriculum while also helping to build community.
My students are a diverse group of learners who attend a Title I public elementary school in Northern California. They are funny and unique individuals who bring different strengths and life experiences to our classroom. They come from various socioeconomic backgrounds and speak a variety of languages.
My first graders are creative, empathetic, and curious students.
These students make each other laugh on a daily basis. They find joy in working together, project based learning, and helping one another as learners and friends. They are enthusiastic about school and support one another in their interests.
My Project
The requested Take-Home Book Package is grade specific and will allow my students to read high interest books with classmates and teachers. They will be challenged in a positive way and motivated to read more in a group setting and independently.
Having book sets (instead of just one of each title) will allow me to meet with students in small groups while working on similar reading strategies and goals.
They will also help my students bond over their reading progress. Essentially, with these books, I'll be able to give valuable literacy instruction to more students each day.
The literacy games requested, like Roller Coaster Craze and the Phonics games, will compliment the books they are reading and spelling patterns they will come across, boosting our current reading and writing curriculum. Kids will be able to practice reading strategies with their classmates, while also learning to work cooperatively in groups and partnerships.
