My fifth grade kids bring excitement and adventure to every day that we get share our world through writing, research, science explorations and literature studies. We are a supportive family that works to support each other! I want my kids to understand just how much they are loved and admired for their own individual talents.
My classroom is filled with inquisitive students who love to explore in our Title I Georgia school where 100 percent of our kids receive free breakfast and lunch.
Despite economic hardships, these students are the inventors, explorers, researchers, writers and dreamers who will create an amazing tomorrow for our world. I am the luckiest teacher because I have the opportunity to share their discoveries every day.
These inquisitive fifth graders are going to experience the Civil Rights Movement in 1963 through the eyes of Kenny Watson as he and his family travel through the segregated south from Flint, Michigan to Birmingham, Alabama throughout Christopher Paul Curtis's "The Watsons Go to Birmingham... 1963." The 10-year-old narrator watches his brother's growing pains and learns to deal with loss on a very personal level.
With heart and humor, this historical fiction piece will move my students through the events of the historic 16th Street Baptist Church bombing that took the lives of four very young girls and became a catalyst for Civil Rights Movement and work on voter registration in Mississippi, during the Freedom Summer of 1964.
