  • Ms. Bledsoe's Book Clubs

    Funded Nov 5, 2022

    Thank you so much for providing these books to my students. I can’t wait to see them choose just the right book, work together, problem solve, and analyze. These kids can be insightful beyond their years when they are challenged, and I look forward to seeing how they learn and grow.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Bledsoe

  • Listening-Language Love

    Funded Feb 7, 2022

    The conversations that came from our time reading "Wonder" were so impactful. Our students were challenged to think about what they say and do to others in comparison to the characters in the book. We had some though-provoking discussions. In a world that is so focused on oneself, it was encouraging to read a book that had the overarching theme of "empathy" among others. My students never cease to amaze me - many of them made insightful comments that took me by surprise and made me incredibly proud to be their teacher. We all loved our time analyzing this book!”

    With gratitude,

Because of COVID-19, teachers have had to rely on technology more than ever before. While I used it often before the pandemic, I’ve realized that it is important to use it regularly in the classroom so that students are prepared and familiar with different platforms for when we switch to Distance Learning. A class set of quality headphones are vital for this, especially for students with learning disabilities. Many of the platforms we use regularly support listening-to-text, but this is challenging without individual headphones, especially when the ones they do have are easily lost or broken. In addition, “Wonder” is a book that has multiple examples of the importance of empathy and kindness, something which our world desperately needs right now. I would love a class set to do a novel study with my students. This book will encourage conversations that will improve students’ social-emotional health and foster community within the classroom.
