Our school is a small public school with students from many different countries around the world, with varied life experiences. Being small is an advantage, in which all the students know each other well, work together and take care of each other. Parents help in the classroom and the community spirit flourishes. Students share books with one another and discuss what they read in literature circles. Some students have the means to have books at home and others go to the library to get their books. The classroom library, however small it is, is open for students to take books home or to keep in their desks to read when time allows. There are students in the class who haven't discovered how fun and engaging books can be. Books at their grade level are sometimes a daunting task to read while books at lower grade levels don't provide enough detail to keep them engaged. They tend to gravitate to easier books because of the large print and simplistic vocabulary but soon they become bored.
