My Students

I have a classroom of 5th grade self-contained gifted and talented students in the largest inner-city school district in Ohio. My students are part of our district's academically gifted and talented program. My classroom is diverse with students coming from all parts of the district.

Students learn best when instruction and learning match their learning style.

My students love to learn in different, creative and innovative ways. They yearn for problem solving and the ability to think outside the box. Finally, they want more opportunities to learn how to work together.

My Project

Jewell Parker Rhodes has woven historical, social, and political layers into a gripping and poignant story about how children and families face the complexities of today's world, and how brothers face racism differently due to the lightness/darkness of their skin.

Black Brother, Black Brother is a timely book that will start important and relevant conversations in our classroom.

We need a class set of Black Brother, Black Brother. Black Brother, Black Brother gently walks readers through the minefield of racism based on the darkness of your skin. Rhodes does a great job showing the difference between how two brothers are treated in a private school where one brother appears white, while the other brother is seen as black. How the brothers are treated from their peers and adults is thoughtfully experienced in this novel.

My readers' ability to coexist in the world and to understand the society outside of their own experiences is dependent upon exposure to all types of books, characters, and plot lines. Providing my readers with the opportunity to read Black Brother, Black Brother as a whole class at home will enable them to view the world through different perspectives, research other connecting events, and have the tough but all-too-necessary conversations required to change the future.
