My Students

My students and I spent this spring in distance learning and we are starting the coming year in distance learning as well. My students and I are separated by sickness, uncertainty and space; at the same time, we are united by our love, our history together and our dedication to learning. In many ways distance learning has been a struggle for my students; they are dealing with confined learning spaces, uncertain living environments and inequitable access to resources.

We are living through history.

My students are incredible people. They come with tenacity, creativity, and a wide variety of experiences and gifts. We work hard every day as scholars, artists, critical thinkers, and friends.

My Project

My students and I participated in distance learning this past spring (like much of the country). It was difficult; we missed each other and our routines and the enrichment I am able to provide in our school setting. We are starting the year in distance learning again this fall. I will be hosting a daily Morning Meeting with my students, which includes our daily read aloud, games and art activities. My students thrive on this daily interaction and our daily read aloud. These picture books will give my students an outlet for their imaginations, feelings and satisfy our need for normalcy. There are funny books and thoughtful books in this project.

2020 has been an eventful and challenging year.

My students have experienced so much and, yet, every day they show me how resilient they are. "A book is a dream you hold in your hands" Neil Gaiman.

Please help my students hold more dreams in their hands, or, at least, to be able to hear them through the computer.
