We Are the Superheroes that America is Looking for Home

Funded Sep 5, 2018

I can’t thank you enough for your support with this project!!! It’s incredibly important to start the new school year off by providing valuable resources our kids need to succeed. Last year, it was extremely difficult to launch the 5th grade reading unit without the actual chapter book that accompanied it. Having a document camera and making limited copies of certain chapters is nothing-nothing- compared to actually having the chapter book and truly learning, living, and sharing experiences alongside the characters. What many of you displayed through your support is this- the audacity of hope. Hope that our students will explore and question and analyze and debate and take NO for an answer. I will update all of you on our final project and along the way take photos of my students reading and working together in groups applying accountable talk strategies and having meaningful book club discussions.
