My Students

So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place you can install a lovely bookshelf on the wall." – Roald Dahl This quote relates to the students in my classroom who have found a love for reading!

The twenty-two students in my class all have their own unique personalities and interests, giving them a wide range of genres that they enjoy reading.

They are always lively and ready to learn and engage in lessons. When you walk into the class, you are greeted with smiles, chatter and happiness. They enjoy learning through their reading, and being able to share their ideas and imagination with their classmates.

My Project

My students need a leveled library in the classroom to engage them to read. They come from a wide range of abilities and need differentiated instruction in order to be successful in the classroom.

My students are motivated and eager to learn.

Having a leveled library in the classroom will help them grow and succeed. My students need options for reading books on their reading levels.

With a leveled library they will have the choice to pick books that they feel comfortable reading. With a leveled library my students will have feeling ownership in reading. Help my students succeed in their reading growth!
