This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I love working at our school because the student population is diverse. We educate students from different socioeconomic backgrounds, cultures, belief systems, and skill levels. We are an International Baccalaureate School. Our goal is to prepare our students to become global citizens through inquiry and exploring global perspectives. The majority of our learning is through cooperative experiences that are inclusive. All students have gifts to offer and actively participate. While furthering their understanding of content areas, students also further their understanding of self and others. It is magical to watch our students learn.
My Project
When the pandemic began, I never dreamed the effects it is having on education would linger for so long. There are still many uncertainties about what teaching will look like in the future. One thing for sure, is that not all students will be vaccinated by our return to school in the fall. Individual copies of books are going to be a necessity.
Students are craving lighthearted and humorous reading materials to help them deal with the effects of the pandemic.
Reading novels is an powerful and constructive way to teach reading skills. Students show a higher interest in reading books that they can relate to and that appeal to their sense of adventure and humor. Both of these books match that criteria. These books will help students learn about people with unique personalities and how to build relationships with them.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
