Nassau Education Foundation - $997.94
Goal
The goal is to build a classroom library with mentor texts that will teach specific skills and strategies through authentic literature and informational text.
What will be done with my students
Teacher and students will read the books in small groups and identify skills such as main idea, inferences, context clues, text structure, point of view, story elements, theme, and author's purpose. The classroom library will also be updated with new books to motivate and encourage independent reading.
Benefits to my students
The benefits to my students will be access to mentor texts during small group instruction when introducing and practicing specific skills and strategies. Books are more engaging for the students and when practicing a difficult skill, using authentic text is more beneficial than using text from test prep materials. They will also have access to new and engaging books to choose during independent reading time.
Budget Narrative
These books can be used year after year in my classroom, so this is not a consumable expense. We will have these books available to share across the grade-levels, as well as for use in our tutoring program, so the reach of this expense is across campus.
