The students would really appreciate tote bags for them to carry their library books. I am also asking for stamps to help my students during their word work station. My students love to read and each child has at least 5 books with them at tables that they share. There are 6 kids at each table....six times 5 books each...well that's thirty books in the center of their table towering over them. I have tried cutting down the number of books that they check out but it is not fair to down size the love of reading that they have. They also really would love to take their books home but without the proper place to keep them, their books would easily get lost at home. The majority of my students speak a second language and because of that, they struggle with reading more than others. Using something as simple as stamps would give these students the opportunity to improve their phonics and enjoy working on learning new words. With these stamps, my students would be able to have a more interactive word work station during our guided reading rotations, motivating them to practice words that they see every day when they read. My students and I would tremendously appreciate this help. They love to read and I love to teach reading. These materials would definitely allow for my students to continue to grow and help them become the readers they can be by the end of the year. THANK YOU!
