My Project
A literature-rich classroom allows children to travel to places they have never been to. It gives children the opportunity to experience things they may never have been exposed to. Building a meaningful classroom library can help students create connections to the world around them and deepen learning. Our classroom needs a library full of meaningful, authentic literature that my students can use to improve their interest in reading, deepen their comprehension, and motivate them to engage in text.
During COVID, students were working from home on computers isolated from the world around them during integral years of their development.
Many of our students did not have access to books or authentic literature while at home during COVID. By creating a classroom library I am hoping to ignite an interest and love of reading in my students through physical books to improve motivation and reading habits. All of the books selected have been chosen with the interest and reading level of second graders in mind. Students will be able to choose books from the library to read in class and to take home to read with their families. The bookmarks, stickers, and erasers will be used as small prizes to reward ambitious readers! The book bins will help to keep our library organized which will also aid in teaching students different genres of literature. Building a school-to-home connection with books will not only support our learning in school but will also help to take our learning outside of the classroom into the community.
This project will help enhance our school-wide goal of creating independent readers and give them a gateway into the world around them.
Half of students from low‑income households
