    Funded Oct 14, 2024

    I am incredibly grateful for your generous contribution to my STEM & SEL project!

These new resources will not only help them explore STEM concepts but also support their social-emotional growth as they learn to work collaboratively and think critically.

    Thank you for believing in our classroom and for giving my students the tools they need to succeed. Your generosity is truly inspiring, and we can’t wait to show you the amazing things we’ll accomplish because of your support!”

When it comes to reading books with my students it is important to provide them with a story they can connect with. This book will act as a reference tool throughout the year. This book will allow me to model for students habits of good readers. It will also act as a mentor text when introducing new concepts such as theme and plot. This will also prepare my students for literature circles/ book clubs after the first 6 weeks. I will be able to model expectations and discussions with my students before releasing them to do so in small groups. Additionally, students will see similar struggles among characters like them. Children desire acceptance and belonging. They want to be a part of the world around them. Therefore, students can develop positive self-images by identifying with the characters like them in the stories.
