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.
I am a NYC Teaching Fellow, in my fourth year of teaching. I teach first grade in one of the lowest performing schools in District 17. We are a Title 1 school, where almost 100% of the children are eligible for free lunch.
My classroom library is divided into two sections. One section is comprised of books organized by genre (such as fiction, the sciences, history, poetry, folk and fairy tales). I read these books aloud to the children in conjunction with those subjects.
The rest of the books are organized by reading levels. The children choose books according to their level to read independently. We use the leveled library everyday. The children focus their reading on the lessons, which might be finding the main idea, character analysis, or the use of simile.
My voracious readers have devoured the leveled books, and are clamoring for more. I will be moving up to second grade with this class, and many of them are reading well into second grade level now.
I've put together a diverse list of titles that will appeal to a variety of the children's interests, and can be read independently by children reading across the range of their reading levels.
A donation of books will help keep their love of reading alive.
