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 but 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

These picture books give an honest and age-appropriate view on important social justices topics such as racial justice, gender equality and human rights. These conversations are happening often in our classroom, but these books would help introduce challenging topics, build reading interest and enhance learning and discussion. Our students are very diverse and it is important that they all feel represented in the books that we have in our library.

These beautiful picture books will be used for read-alouds and will then be in our classroom library where students can read them on a regular basis.

We will be able to project the books onto the interactive white board and will engage with the book through an interactive read-aloud. Students will discuss the book and ask questions as we are reading as a class. My students gravitate towards the books we read as a class, so adding diverse, honest and empowering books to our rotation would be huge! I can't wait to get them excited about new picture books on important topics!
