Book Clubs for Miss Taylor's Class

Help me give my students group sets of books. I have a lot of books but my kids are higher than most of my previous classes, and we have run out of small group sets of chapter books.

My Students

Hello! I am a teacher at a Title I school, that has a unique program for kids with disabilities. A few years ago, I transferred from the self-contained classroom back into the general education classroom (at the same school) and noticed that the needs may be different, but my students still have many struggles to overcome in order to be successful!

My students have a wide variety of skills we are working on, one, in particular, is the ability to do their math facts and read fluently.

This is a group of students who are academically at several different levels, yet are all in the same classroom (which is typical of most classrooms, today). Meeting all of the needs of my students, while continuing on with the curriculum is hard for several of my kids. My students that need to be challenged are left to do more independent work, and my struggling students are provided with more one-on-one attention that they need to be successful! I am hoping to even the playing field and have the ability to meet more of my students' needs.

My Project

One of my all time passions is reading and getting kids to love reading, too. I was inspired as a child to dive into books and live in another world for that period of time. This year is the first year in about 4 years that my kids LOVE reading as much as I do! I'm so excited about that but am now faced with a new problem.While I have a lot of books in my classroom library, most were used at the time of purchase and 8 years later are now worn and breaking.

My class loves doing Book Clubs and I enjoy them as well, however, I have run out of chapter books to read in small groups.

This class is running through the books so fast, I'm struggling to continue to order the books fast enough and it has taken a toll on my finances. Providing books for my kids is key to keeping them growing and enjoying learning. Keeping that in mind, this is a wonderful way you can help me provide the resources my kids need in order to continue to be successful in reading! Thank you in advance for your support.
