Help support Ms. Campbell's Classroom

In a Title 1 school in an urban area, our resources are low and our students don't always have books at home which leads to a lot of our reading lessons and stories having to be printed on paper. Over 90 % of my students come from low-income families and deserve a reading lesson designed around actual books. The use of tangible books and real literature is so important in my classroom of growing readers. Not only will these novel studies bring out a love of learning in my students but will help to build our classroom community by having a set goal we are all working on together. These novel studies will take my classroom instruction to the next level and the student engagement through the roof. I am also including a collection of non-fiction books and some high-interest series to include in the classroom library to also help with student engagement. During our reading class, the students participate in the Daily 5 Workshop where they work independently on different stations. One of those stations is Read to Self and it is the most important part of their station routine. Having books that are high-interest will keep the attention of even the most struggling readers. My student's rock and are the reason I come to my job every day. Despite the multiple disadvantages that are thrown at them they come to school ready to learn and better themselves while jumping gracefully over the hurdles along the way. My students deserve real books, not paper. My students deserve books that are taken care of, not ripped apart or missing pages. My students deserve access to high-interest literature that will capture their attention, not books that represent people and situations that don't apply to them.
