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.
My Students
My students simply don't like reading... they're OBSESSED with reading. Whenever they have the opportunity to read a book, they become incredibly excited to get completely immersed in the world within the text.
My students are 1st graders who are amazingly intelligent and creative.
We are a small school with big hearts. Every student that attends our school is taught under the gifted program and we are located on the south-side of Chicago. Being a small school, we aren't always given the most funds from our school district. I truly believe that my students deserve all the educational resources that are out there and more.
My Project
Students will be practicing their reading skills that are taught in class as well as escape to new and exciting places by reading a great book. Whether it's independent reading or guided reading, my students will grow and continue to be great scholars and that can all happen with just cracking open a great book.
By having a wide range of leveled books in my classroom my students will grow and advance in their respective reading levels.
Nothing breaks my heart more than my students telling me that we don't have enough leveled books in our library. My students are obsessed with reading and I want to quench that thirst for knowledge with having a wide range of books for their respective reading levels.
