My students are eager to read grade level texts from their favorite read alouds to starting chapter books. They enjoy picking up a book and reading around the room. They love using their "tool box" of strategies to figure out tricky words in above leveled text. Their whole body smiles as they read. They enjoy challenging themselves in their mathematical thinking as they explore new math topics. My district and school lack the resources and materials for my students. Due to the lack of resources my classroom is missing key classroom environment materials to enhance their learning inside of the classroom.
