Bascomb Teacher Gets Classroom Makeover

Bascomb Elementary School teacher Shelby Reed recently received a classroom makeover from Scholastic. 

Reed participated in the the Cherokee County School District’s “Elementary Summer Institute,” a five-day professional development series offered by district in partnership with Scholastic Classroom and Community Group.  

The company, the largest publisher and distributor of children's books and materials, offered one classroom makeover to participants as a grand prize worth more than $3,000. 

Reed garnered 17 boxes of reading and writing materials, specifically chosen for her fourth-grade students, as well as furnishings for a reading area in the classroom.  

Lynn O’Hara, account executive with Scholastic, delivered the books and supplies and helped set everything up in Reed’s classroom earlier this month.  

The materials represent a standards-based approach to learning and offer opportunities for differentiation and varied instructional deliveries.  

This classroom will now serve as a model classroom, and Reed will be sharing her new resources with her fellow fourth-grade teachers, who also attended the Summer Institute, along with the Bascomb's administrative team: Principal Ruth Flowers and Assistant Principals Gordon Swordsma and Lynn Turnell.
