My Project

The goal of this project is to provide students with book boxes. Students will choose the books they will keep in these boxes; students will also be able to change their books on a monthly basis or more if needed. All of this will offer choice and increase interest.

The students in my classroom are inner city, 13 of these students will be ELL.

These boxes will allow for a quiet and easy transition to reading stations as well as be accessible to students for use throughout the day.

Thank you for supporting this work and the second-grade students in my class.
