My Project
In my second grade classroom we are working hard on closing the achievement gap and social-emotional learning due to the COVID pandemic. Most of my students missed out on early learning in preschool and even kindergarten. We are doing the best we can to fill all of the gaps and are making tremendous progress. We are also bringing as much cheer as possible into our classroom so that the students never miss out on fun school activities again!
Our classroom library was in desperate need of more up-to-date books that the students would enjoy reading independently.
We needed books that included various themes. The books I had in the classroom were outdated and some were very worn out. We had books that were taped together and even some books that had missing pages.
My ultimate goal for the past two school years was to create a new library to support my students' literacy growth with more up-to-date books. I knew that with the appropriate books in our library I could accomplish this and send them off to the next grade reading on the appropriate level. Thank you for supporting my classroom and making my vision come true. Literacy is the essence of all. When students leave the earlier grades reading on level research shows that they are more than likely not going to struggle through their remaining school years.
We have been so lucky and blessed to have many reading levels funded already but there is one more reading level in addition to this one we need to have a complete classroom library.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
