My Students

I teach the most amazing fifth graders you could ask for. We work together in groups or as a whole making our class a team. This brings more engagement and enthusiasm from them. They feel like they have a say in what goes on in the classroom because they have been able to make decisions on classroom rules, rewards, daily activities, etc. They come to school everyday excited to learn and excited to know that their opinion matters. We go to a wonderful school that supports students and their learning. My students love to read but I am lacking a grade level library for them to have a choice on what to read.

They are an inspiration to me and their other classmates.

There is a buzz about books in our classroom. Students are provided with many opportunities to discuss what they are reading in small groups, large groups, and with reading buddies. The more books available for students, the greater the buzz becomes.

My Project

Our new Superintendent has challenged teachers to create a “book-rich” environment in every classroom. Book access is a significant factor in literacy development. Research shows that students in classrooms with high-quality classroom libraries read 50 percent more than students who do not have access to a library in the classroom. Teachers are encouraged to be “choosy” about the books in a classroom library and to avoid purchasing every outdated and dog-eared book from yard sales. Students need to get excited about the books in the classroom library. Having a high-quality classroom library would allow me to present and display books in enticing ways that encourage and prompt interest, dialogue, and thinking. With a growing classroom library, the buzz about books in our classroom will bloom!
