Shaping future leaders is something I strive to do each day in my classroom. Teaching them independence and ownership are two important skills we work on daily. Our classroom library is a place where students can go to pick out a piece of reading material that is engaging, educational and comfortable. Students take pride in our books, treat them with care and use them to connect with peers. These new books and headphones will do just that!
Through the new books, headphones and focus tools we will work to create strong readers that have a passion for learning. When we are reading we use a variety of different places around the room. Students have the choice of the floor or their seat. These flexible seating options give students the choice and control over their learning. With bouncy bands it will allow my students to focus while reading at their seat. With wobble cushions they will have the flexibility to use it in the chair or on the floor.
The more they read and are exposed to different types of books, the better their reading skills become. The new headphones will allow my students to have a choice of online reading materials as well. Allowing them to listen while they read the book online will help to give them the confidence that they can read it on their own. My hope for this project is to give my students a more diverse selection of reading materials and focus tools.
