My Students

My fab fifth-graders hail from New York and are proud members of a gifted and talented public school program in an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse community. 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

These virtual resources will help us implement the reading and writer's workshop mode in our virtual and/or blended learning classroom. Students will see themselves as true authors and continue to grow and flourish as independent readers, writers, and creative thinkers. We will use these supplemental materials to aid us in this process.

As a 30-year veteran educator, I know that providing students with an enriching and authentic balanced literacy program is essential.

However, in this new pandemic era, it is extra challenging to support our young readers and writers. These additional virtual components will help engage students who are online while the teacher can focus on assessment, conferring, small groups, and providing feedback. Parent and caregiver videos provide additional support to kids when they aren’t with their teacher.

Can you help us make our vision of a beautiful balanced blended and-or virtual literacy program a reality? We hope we can rock our reading and writing workshops in the new school year with your support. Thanks for your time and consideration!
