We Need a Library to Ensure Independent Reading

Funded Oct 3, 2024

Thank you for the new library for our classroom. The students have loved the new books. They have learned some new vocabulary words and how to relate the books to plot diagram or to the story elements that they are learning in ELA class. The students love to read and these new books have helped them to enjoy reading even more.

The classroom library is used for independent reading time which is 20 minutes every other day. When they are finished reading they write a paragraph based on characters, setting or what is happening in the story at that time. This allows me to know that they have read for the 20 minutes. The new books in our library have helped with our independent reading time.

The box sets of books and the series of books that we asked for have been a huge hit with the boys in the classroom. They have enjoyed reading them. All the students have been reading the new books and have taken turns reading a few of the books. It is nice to see when one finishes they will give the book to the next student in line to read it. It is nice to see them so interested in reading again. Thank you again for helping our classroom library.”
