My Students

My students are engaged and eager to learn. They are curious and constantly bringing up new wonders. My class is made up of students from a variety of cultures and socio-economic backgrounds yet they all have one thing in common. They have all been identified as academically gifted and talented. They are diligent readers and go through the classroom library rapidly. My students and I partake in reading competitions so that I am current on what they are reading as well.

I strive to bring new literature to my students that will peak their interests.

The students are constantly being challenged to read a variety of genres to expand their knowledge and reading repertoire!

My Project

The goal of this project is to provide a unique perspective of a historical event. The novel will be used as a novel study to focus on the events of WWII and to teach reading standards at the same time. Due to the structure of our day this year we have limited time to teach Social Studies. This will provide the students with an opportunity to learn about historical events during the reading block.

There is great importance in looking at multiple perspectives when learning about any event.

The Read-Aloud I am asking for will bring in another perspective of what it was like for children to grow up in Germany during World War II. Students will be able to compare the various perspectives and have in-depth discussions about the impact these events have had on the lives of these children.

With these novels and the Read Aloud students will see the difficult decisions that children had to make, the impact of those decisions, and the lasting effect they had on their lives.
