My Project

In third grade, students need to be able to read, understand text structure, text features and write supporting their opinions using text evidence from the books or articles they read. Allowing students at a young age to read appropriate current events allows them to develop rich vocabulary and build their background knowledge. This reading can translate into wonderful stories the students will write.

Reading a variety of well-written articles that introduce students to how others live, work, or have overcome challenges, allows students to see what the world is like outside of their small rural community.

Reading Scholastic News will allow my students to see the world in different ways, which builds on their schema and helps them to become better writers.

This grant also includes items our class needs, like pencil top erasers, labels, and basketballs. These supplies are needed in our classroom and help with writing. For March Madness and NBA Finals writing week, we will be reading, writing, and learning about sports stories of resilience.

I plan for my students to read interesting text whether it comes from books or magazines. I need them engaged and ready to not only answer questions about what they have read but also construct their meaning from the story. By using fun tools, and great stories they will be able to understand what they are reading and in turn, create their own stories.
