Funded May 10, 2023Thank you so much for your donations! The children absolutely love all the books that have been donated to my classroom. This year I have a majority of ESL students. A majority of those students are entering and emerging. That means that speak little to no English at all. The most important thing for getting these students interested in reading is to provide them with new and engaging books.
Our reading block usually has our students working together as a whole class and as they reach independent time they are able to work in groups and do center work. One of these centers include having opportunities to partner read. Each student has a book baggie of 10 books and each week they are able to choose new books to read throughout the week. During center time they may choose books to read from their book baggie to read with their partner. They students are even able to take these books home to practice with their families! It's wonderful!
Again, thank you so much for all your support! It is truly appreciated!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Champagne
