My Project

The specific items I am requesting will make a difference in student learning because they will allow more space to display all the different books we have in the classroom. It will allow me to organize books by different topics and levels.

My goals for this project are to help students easily identify books that are at their reading level rather than mindlessly choosing a book that might not challenge or support them.

I also want students to be able to easily access books about topics that are interesting to them.

My students are special because they work really hard to learn new concepts. Half of my class are English language learners and have the superpower of being bilingual. Having better organizational systems for book displays will allow them to discover more information about their reading levels. My students are special because they are incredibly empathetic and caring. This also will allow me to display our social-emotional learning books clearly.
