Literature Circles Rock!
Funded Nov 29, 2022Because of your generous donations, my students can read books for a classroom literacy program called "literature circles."
Grouped by ability, the students read a book one chapter at a time. Then, they complete one of these roles: discussion director, summarizer, wacky word finder, cool connector, or their personal favorite, artful artist.
Then they meet in small groups that are student guided(they love being in charge), and share what they wrote. I facilitate as needed of course.
After that, they choose new roles, read another chapter, and get ready to meet again.
Your help has greatly increased their literature choices!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Seed to Read and 2 other donors.Loving to Learn Carpet
Funded Sep 8, 2022My students were so excited when they first saw the carpet! The colors are so bright and the different countries and continents really standout. They were recognizing and saying the name of each one.
They love using the carpet for all of their learning. Partnering is important in my classroom. During language arts time they love to spread out with all of their books and writing materials. They are so comfortable and focused on the carpet. During center time they bring their computers and notebooks and prop them up on small stools. They share what they are learning and help each other if they are stuck and need a buddy. This carpet will provide years of great learning!”
