What will be done with my students

To begin, I will introduce the book to the class. As we go through the books, we will discuss the text features, the theme, and central idea. Throughout the chapters, we will point out the relevant details and how they connect to the central idea. One activity we will do throughout the read aloud is create a poster about the students' favorite sport and why. Another activity we will do asks students to pick their favorite character and describe why. They will draw a picture of that character and write a connection that they made to that character (text-to-text, text-to-self, or text-to-world connection). At the end of this reading and activities, we will do a book tasting. The students will submit their favorite book title, and we will choose the top books to include in our book tasting.  

 

Benefits to my students

The benefits of this are to build on their fluency and reading comprehension. In addition, the students will reinforce their knowledge of text features, central idea, and how to correctly distinguish relevant details within a passage. I want to nurture students love for reading independently and chorally. There will be opportunities for interactive experiences and cross-curricular lessons.
The sensory wall tiles will foster a calming reading environment for students who get overwhelmed during choral reading. Some students go to the reading corner, which doubles as the calm down corner to self-regulate. I have several students who utilize that area when they become overstimulated in the classroom. 

 

Budget Narrative

The books requested are a classroom set and they are SSYRA books. They will be utilized for classroom read alouds and will align with the following standards: ELA.3.R.2.2, ELA.3.R.3.2, and ELA.3.R.2.1. The sensory wall tiles will support the students who need to self-regulate when becoming overstimulated.
