A Champion For Learning - $375.70
Goal
I come to work every day with the goal of creating a learning environment for my students that is engaging, exciting and energetic. I want my students to love learning and cultivate a love for reading so big that they can’t wait to walk through the door every day. One way I do this is through the collection of books I make available to my students daily.
What will be done with my students
With so many requirements and teacher-chosen reading assignments in middle school, my aim to provide my students with books of all types--graphic novels, historical fiction, fantasy, realistic fiction--they like it then you name it! I have been so blessed over the years to slowly grow a diverse library, with something in it for everyone. My school is in a transitional year with housing and because of this many books are not available to students. I would like to have enough books that any student can come and find a book of interest, at their reading level, to take home and read. The books listed was created by my current middle school students and based on things they expressed interest in reading.
Benefits to my students
These various books will be used to encourage independent reading in my classroom. They will be available for any student to check out and read throughout the year and many are even integrated into our yearly reading and history units.
Budget Narrative
These various graphic novels will be used to encourage independent reading in my classroom. They will be available for any student to check out and read throughout the year and some even integrated into our yearly reading and history units.
