My classroom is a safe place where all students are encouraged to take risks. It is an inviting, engaging, and encouraging learning environment. We work together as a team!
My students are diverse in all areas.
They have a variety of experiences and lack of in some cases. The third grade next year will consist of four separate classrooms. They are eager to learn and my goal is to expose them to as much great literature as possible!
My Project
These materials would be used by all third grade students. Students feel empowered when they have an actual copy of the book Friendship According to Humphrey, in their hands. The teacher read aloud NOW becomes a read aloud where everyone is involved and reading. I would love to provide them with an opportunity to come together with great literature. These books would be used by the whole third grade. It will help to stimulate class discussions about comprehension and improve fluency.
This project will get books in my students hands.
In many instances they do not have books available at home, and it is my hope that it will also help nurture a love of reading. These books will remain in the classroom and be used for many years, therefore impacting numerous lives.
