My Students

Our fab fifth-graders hail from New York and are proud members of an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse public school community. Our motto is: From Many...We Are One, One Mission, One Vision, 165Q. We celebrate the wonderful diversity in our school, as it teaches students how to be productive citizens of the community in which they live in. Throughout the years, they have flourished as critical thinkers, readers, writers, creative problem solvers, and observers of the world in which we live. From the first day of school, students are encouraged to think for themselves and engage in activities and discussions that allow for an in-depth analysis of texts and life issues without having to find the “right answer.” They are empowered to know that they can make a difference in making the world better and brighter.

The first step to building literacy and social comprehension skills is by finding humanity in ourselves and in others along with the realization of the power of one individual's ability to change his or community and better the lives of those around him By providing students with engaging texts, we help deepen their interpretive analysis in exploring themes, symbols and other important ideas.

My Project

During remote learning, my fabulous fifth graders need enriching activities to help their young minds develop and build their vocabulary and spelling skills. The board game Scrabble would not only help enhance their their intellectual capacities and grow their abilities to strategize, it will also provide hours of bonding time with their families and friends and increase their self-esteem as they become sharper and more creative wordsmiths through practice and friendly competition. Even when they do not win the game, players derive a strong sense of personal success from playing the game because they must each solve a logical problem in every turn of play. Players may be especially proud of forming high scoring words.

As we build our confidence in ourselves and our abilities we are better able to deal with ordinary setbacks and make better decisions throughout our lives.
