My Students

My students are bright and caring children. They love to work together and learn in active ways! Our school is arts-integrated, which means we teach academic concepts and standards through the arts, including drama, visual arts, creative movement, and creative writing. We also teach and foster collaboration as a key cornerstone in our curriculum.

Our students learn how to work as a group through the creative process.

They take pride in their work and love to celebrate each other's accomplishments. Our school is such a positive environment!

My Project

My students love to listen to a good book and talk about the message as a class. In fact, teachers have been reading books to teach lessons for decades. A particularly important lesson I can teach my students is to have a Growth Mindset while working through problems.

This project requests a variety of books including She Persisted, I Ain't Gonna Paint No More!, A Splash of Red, Flight School, Rosie Revere, How to Catch a Star, Emmanuel's Dream, Ada Twist, Scientist, Last Stop on Market Street, and I Got the Rhythm.

By having a large collection of books that all teach similar lessons in different ways, my students will begin to internalize the messages about not giving up, being persistent, learning from mistakes, and being kind to others. I am excited to create writing prompts and other projects for us to dive deeper into the theme.
