Every student that walks into my classroom each day wants to learn. It's the teacher's job to provide an engaging and creative lesson for success not only for today's lesson but also towards the future. That's why I want to introduce Flocabulary into my classroom. Flocabulary is proven to raise scores on state reading tests. By integrating Flocabulary into lessons throughout the school day, the videos help to increase critical thinking skills. Students will view various videos that are Common Core aligned, and each child will complete an online quiz to assess their knowledge on the subject. Students will use the vocabulary they learned to increase their writing skills. Students will also use the Kagan strategy, quiz-quiz-trade, during the course of the school year from all the newly learned vocabulary. I also have chosen a wonderful book, Esperanza Rising, that will be beneficial for many Spanish speaking students. A young adult novel, written by Pam Muñoz Ryan, will give all readers a roll model named Esperanza Ortega. It was written in 2000 but it's sure to be a classic. Hey, it's for the kids!
