Funded Mar 30, 2023You have provided us with a vast array of books that not only activate prior knowledge but also teach students how to make inferences based on evidence and reasoning presented in the text or its features. Additionally, these books help us develop the skills to monitor our reading and clarify any uncertainties we have made. As a result, our everyday vocabulary improves enabling us to effectively communicate with others.
In my classroom, reading takes the form of explicit instruction on specific skills, allowing students to apply these lessons to their own self selected books. This approach empowers students to engage in meaningful discussions with the teacher through individual conferences. Furthermore, students are encouraged to extend their reading experiences into their writing. The joy of reading is evident among all my students, as it nurtures their imagination and sparks their creativity. Moreover, it equips them with knowledge about the real world and provides a serene escape into a realm of their own imagination. For that, we thank you for making our dreams come true.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Karen Haymon
