it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I have struggled to come up with lessons that ingrain the importance of exercise, nutrition, sleep, and hard work. This book will do all of that and more. I plan on reading this book with my class of 6th graders to finish the year. My hope is that the contents of this book will deeply resonate with my students and positively affect their futures. I have copied and pasted the summary of the book below to help give you insight into the details.
Fifth grade was the worst year of Marc’s life.
He stunk at gym class, math was too hard for him, the school lunch was horrible, and his class field trip was ruined because he couldn’t swim. And the most awful thing about fifth grade? Kenny Williamson, the class bully, who calls himself the King of the Jungle Gym.
When Marc’s mother tells him that his uncle Jake is coming to stay for the whole summer, Marc can’t wait. Uncle Jake is a for-real, super-cool Navy SEAL. And Uncle Jake has a plan.
He’s going to turn Marc into a warrior.
Becoming a warrior isn’t easy. It involves a lot of pull-ups, sit-ups, push-ups, squats, swimming, eating right, and studying harder than ever before! Can Marc transform himself into a warrior before school starts in the fall–and finally stand up to the King of the Jungle Gym?
