The students at Glenshire Elementary are reading at higher and higher levels. We would like to expand our selection of high level - age appropriate books. Our vision at Glenshire is "Students love to read and read to achieve", and providing challenging books for all readers is of the utmost importance. We hope to purchase both individual books for student check out and literature circle books sets for group reading.
The students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade will benefit from this grant because they will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge, challenge their reading skills, and discover new reading materials.
This grant will be successful when students are able to find reading materials that are at their level and contain appropriate content for their age. Higher leveled books will enhance and enrich student knowledge and promote higher thinking and understanding. The literature circle book sets will be used in small groups led by a teacher. The higher leveled book sets will encourage group discussions that correlate with classroom and curriculum ideas.
Books will be purchased and cataloged in the Spring of 2023. Books and book sets will be ready for check out in the Fall.
This grant is for books that will be housed in the school library. All students and teachers will have access to the materials.
Our principal feels the EEF is the best choice for funding this project.
