My Students

I teach a Kindergarten and 1st grade multi-age classroom in an urban school district in Washington. Many students at our school come from low socio-economic backgrounds and need all of the resources they can get at school!

I am a second-year teacher needing some help to equip my classroom library with chapter books for my developing readers that need to continue being challenged.

I would also like to add more to my collection of popular picture books that Kindergarten/first graders are attracted to.

My Project

In this project, I have requested for several chapter book boxed series sets for my developing first grade students. I have first graders in my class this year that were in my class last year, and these students are becoming more and more fluent readers! It is amazing to watch them pore over books and read them voraciously! The issue now has become that my library is lacking higher level books (chapter books) that are more their level. I want to continue to engage these students and be able to accommodate their level and growth through much more difficult books. I would like to help support their comprehension skills and build on their reading fluency.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about this project.

I need a wider range of books due to the multi-age/grade students in my classroom. Please help me to help my first grade readers grow as well as my Kindergarten students!
