Hillsborough Education Foundation School and Classroom Enrichment Grants
Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
Spurlino Foundation - $1,000.00
The goal of this project is to establish The Classroom Library in room 631. Every reader in the classroom deserves to feel rich in books! Access to a wide variety of texts is imperative to creating an equitable learning community where every student finds fiction and non-fiction at his/her fingertips.
Student progress in all four units of this year's instruction will be strengthened by in-class access to a wider variety of books. The selected texts are thematically connected to each unit of study, and they represent a variety of cultures, conflicts, and conversations. Whether 9th graders select a high-interest text for independent reading or upperclassmen use a text to support a particular perspective in an argument, students will most certainly be given more opportunity to practice comprehension and analysis skills measured by state standards.
I expect to incite a stronger love of reading in support of more students making more progress toward mastery of Florida's Language Arts Standards that measure life-long skills surrounding how to be a better reader, writer, listener, and thinker.
All selected texts are from suggested Independent Reading lists in my course textbook and represent a variety of fiction and non-fiction that align with the instructional units in which students will engage. All prices are based on approximate cost at Amazon.com.
