Goal

The goal of this project is to help my students read all of the Sunshine State Books so that they may earn badges and experiences, be able to vote with other Florida students on their favorite book, and read some incredibly interesting books! This project makes the Sunshine State books more accessible to my students by having them readily available in the classroom to check out & read: at home, at school, where ever they choose! :)  

What will be done with my students

The Sunshine State book initiative is something that students look forward to every year. These books are chosen, engaging stories that all students in Florida set a goal to read by the end of the school year in order to vote on their favorite title. It gives them something in common to discuss while having a common goal to work toward. These books will be accessible in the classroom for the students to use at any time. We will have hands on, fun activities prepared for the students to complete after they read one of the books as well.  

Benefits to my students

This benefits the students in so many ways! One way is that, as we are in our 3rd year of Leader in Me and the Seven Habits, this provides the students with a goal they can work towards, accountability advocates built in, as they'll all be working toward a common goal and can help push each other to achieve. As they read these titles, they will be increasing their reading comprehension and fluency as well as fostering a love of reading with engaging texts. It also allows our students to be able to compete with all Florida students in reading these selected stories and voting on their favorites; being a part of something bigger! Thank you for your time & consideration!
