My Students

Our students are full of creative energy and imagination! Our class is abuzz with excited chatter during cooperative work time and silent with steely focus while writing or researching on our Chromebooks. It is my mission to harness all that buzzy interest and energy and direct it into innovative ways to build their understanding of the content.

A handful of statistics can't capture the hearts of these kids, but let me share with you a few insights to make their need clearer.

Our students are a diverse mix of Latino, Filipino and African American children. Our neighborhood is high poverty so 100% of the students receive free lunch. For a few, the school meals are the most reliable source of nutrition they have.

Their reading skills range from those working on still blending letter sounds to those writing essays on theme in the current novel we are reading. Some of our kids come from homes where English isn't the native language. A few of them are identified as gifted, but every one of them is uniquely talented.

My Project

My students enjoy reading but have limited access to a variety of quality books. I'd like to share some outstanding children's books with them. These books will build excitement about studying mythology and geography (of the US).

These novels will also allow us to practice literary analysis skills like writing about plot, character and setting as well as making inferences (an important 4th grade standard).

I will read aloud daily from the novel to model fluent reading and share my enthusiasm for the story. Having done this in the past, we can usually get many kids interested enough to go on to read the entire series or other mythology stories.

Once kids find a book they truly enjoy, they began to see that reading is more than just something you do in school when your teacher says you have to. This is how we build lifelong readers.
