Having resources that students at these grade levels need (available in class versus a trip to the library) for research and fact-finding will allow them to effectively utilize their own time, minimize the need for out-of-class time for check-outs/renewals and encourage collaborative efforts within multi-student projects.
This request is for three small rolling book carts that will be used to permanently house the four 40 - 60 book resources the fourth and fifth grades utilize each trimester. The classrooms will have the ability to check out the entire cart(s) for an extended period of time and the students will be exposed to an extensive assortment of theme-related materials, far more than they would be offered in a simple google or library subject search.
This accessibility is intended to offer students encouragement in the use of non-tech resources to view and "flesh out" subject material from an assortment of offerings, both fiction and non-fiction and share their findings with other students.
As a result of the research and subsequent collaborations being conducted in the classrooms ( instead of the library )- teachers have the ability to facilitate and moderate the direction of group conversations to ensure focus.
