Reading books will bring the wider world to my students. In my classroom, we value each others' cultural backgrounds and experiences, and reading books allows us to understand and feel empathy for others. Through reading books, my students will benefit in many ways: they will learn what good writers do, improve their fluency and comprehension, experience coping skills and perseverance, and they will learn about the world around them. Reading these books will allow my students to make direct connections to their own or their family's experiences and feelings. We will have exciting discussions, learn about essay and summary writing, and compare and contrast. Every student will create a book report in the shape of a mobile, focusing on such categories as settings, characters, plot, and problems/solutions. This project will be cross curricular, as it touches upon local California and American history as well as art and creativity. At the end of the school year, we will invite parents and friends to what we call Reading Olympics, a competition between third, fourth, and fifth grade about the books students read during the year.
