Literacy resources found in our school:

 * ** What is it? Who is it? Where is it located? **
 * //** Mrs. White **//
 * She is our literacy coach and has an office located near the main office of the school.
 * She works with both teachers and students.
 * She is there every day and is willing to meet whenever she is available throughout the day.
 * //** Resource Room **//
 * The resource room is located in a closet near the main entrance of the school.
 * This closet includes paper and other supplies.
 * This closet also is used for storage of materials.
 * //** Textbooks/Libraries **//
 * Each set of textbooks is kept in the classrooms.
 * The texts vary by grade level.
 * Each classroom has a small library of books which, in many cases, were brought by the teacher.
 * There is not a library within the school, so the students use the books provided by the teachers.
 * //** Computer room **//
 * The computer room is the first room to the left when you enter the school through the main entrance.
 * It consists of multiple computers that the students go on during their allotted times throughout the week.
 * This computer room also has a projector, which is used for our teacher meetings as well.
 * **Can we access it??**
 * The resources are very accessible. The main resources we have are those that are in the classroom. We don't have a library so the books seen are those that the teacher has collected over time.
 * We can also access the computer in the computer lab. Each teacher is also provided a computer in their classroom.
 * There is a resource room shown above. It has paper, pencils, and other supplies that we use.
 * Mrs. White (literacy coach) is very accessible! She is very friendly and is available to all teachers and staff if she is not working individually with students.


 * **Other Resources**
 * //** Journalism Program Publishing Center **//
 * The journalism program was started by a parent that used to have a child at Chrysler Elementary.
 * This parent worked for the news and wanted Chrysler students to have an opportunity to get interested and involved in his field so he formed a club.
 * Journalism has stayed at the school for years. A newsletter is published either monthly or quarterly.
 * A large majority of Chrysler teachers require students to write in their journal (to a prompt) daily.
 * ** Success For All **
 * Last year our school earned a grant to participate in the "Success for All", a program aimed at improving reading skills.
 * The program requires students to work together, problem solve, and think critically.
 * Students are placed in a classroom based on their reading level.
