I would love a grant to expand my classroom library. I would use the grant money to buy books for my classroom library and books to use for read alouds to my students. I would also use the money to purchase a bookshelf with a bench to create a relaxing reading nook for my students.
Students would benefit from this grant because they would have access to a variety of books in our classroom. Having a variety of books exposed children to many different kinds of books and they are able to choose books that sparks their interests. I love when students enjoy reading and I love to see them having a classroom library that is a space of joy!
My students would also benefit from this grant because I will have a large variety of books to use during whole group read alouds. I do 1-2 read alouds every day to model how to read a story, to promote whole group discussions with my students, to teach a topic for a unit we are studying, and so much more!
I would use this grant to buy books for my classroom library and for my teacher read aloud resources. I would also share these books with my fellow team members and school staff!
Yes! I will definitely share books with my grade level team. We teach the same things and units, so these books would be beneficial for my teammates as well.
Thank you so much for considering this grant for my Kindergarten classroom!
