Reading is one of the most crucial skills that students develop in second grade. In order to promote reading fluency and stamina, my students read individually every day, twice a day. After developing a strong foundation in first grade, students progress into second grade eager to find the types of books that interest them the most. In order to do this, students need to have a variety of texts to explore. My goal is for students to book shop every Monday putting books into their book bins. My hope is that they will add a variety of genres and writing styles to their weekly book selections. The book bins will act as an organizational tool to help the students stay focused on the books they have chosen to read during the week. We can also interlock the bins, making our space more functional and organized. One of the coziest aspects of a home is a good carpet, and that is exactly what we need for our room! In order to make our classroom space our own, we need a rug to act as a central meeting spot for morning meetings, class pep talks, and individual reading time. I believe that students do their best work when they are comfortable in their space, so I feel confident that this addition will help my students perform better academically and feel more relaxed when working at school. The carpet will not only act as a comfortable space in the room, but I also feel it is academically appropriate. Students begin learning how to write in cursive in second grade, so I believe the rug will be a great way to visually enforce this skill at all times throughout the year.
