My Students

My students are absolutely amazing in every way. Our class is complete with 25 enthusiastic, curious and animated first graders from a range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Our class is an integrated co-teaching (ICT) classroom meaning that a portion of our students have special needs. Our needs range from speech and language disorders to autism, and none of the labels stop any of the students from trying their hardest and always exceeding expectations. These 25 students are dedicated and excelling in the classroom is the norm!

Our class of students are a unique, clever, determined and persistent bunch with a range of interests and needs - making each and every lesson new and exciting!

My co-teacher and I take a very hands-on approach to education, which allows students to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.

My Project

My students need sets of chapter books to use during their book clubs! As students gain confidence in their reading abilities they tend to be drawn to the idea of chapter books: intrigued by their length, excited by their characters and eager to find out more. It is extremely important that we have sets of books in order for students to push one another in book clubs.

In a book club group, all students reading the same book are then able to collaborate on projects, communicate their feelings about what they read and comprehend the stories as a team.

They are able to learn from one another and their engagement is evident. Book clubs increase students' levels of independence and allows the students to push one another with questions and comments.

The series that I have chosen are all favorites in our classroom already and we tend to all want to read them. Having enough copies to create a strong literary circle will only enhance my students engagement and understanding.
