My Students

My students are a sweet and a delightful bunch. They are very engaged in everyday learning and are always curious to know more. About 50% of my students are English as a New Language Learners (ENL students) and the rest are general education students who know another language. They are enthusiastic and friendly because they are very willing to help others. Some of them struggle with the language and it's because it's something new to them but it doesn't stop them from trying hard and doing their best.

These students have such a great mentality that they will help them become successful individuals.

My Project

In fourth grade, nonfiction is a big topic and one of the topics that the students have to learn about is the American Revolution. In order for students to dive into the history of the American Revolution, they are going to do a research project about the several different parts of the American Revolution.

Resources are essential to research.

The books that I am requesting from donors are all about different subtopics of the American Revolution. Such as, Paul Revere, causes of the American Revolution, the important people involved in the war like George Washington and several others. The end result of the students' research will be their own short "chapter" book about their assigned sub topic of the revolution. With the multiple resources that this project provides, it'll give student more opportunities to learn, read and collaborate to share their knowledge with other students.
