Wiggle While You Read

My students need an expanded classroom library. Many of the students read on the same level and the selection and quantity of books is very limited. Adding these books will give us more to pick from!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My classroom is the second home for 12 amazing second and third graders! I teach special education and have the privilege of interacting with these 12 different personalities every day! Teaching special education is truly a dream come true for me. I learn and grow right alongside of my students. It is so rewarding when goals are met, and relationships of trust are built. I will never take this responsibility for granted. I am grateful for the opportunity I have been given.

My Project

The books from this project will go directly into our expanding our classroom library. Many of my students read on the same level, and the selection and quantity of books is very limited. Adding these books will give us a wider variety of books and ensure all of the students will be able to have books on their level.

A stool for flexible seating allows for student to wiggle as they read.

Having more books available in the classroom will help foster a love of reading. The leveled reading library will help me push my students academically and make sure they are making gains in their reading levels.
