My Students

"From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot in front of the other. But when books are opened, you discover you have wings." Many of our students need an incentive to discover those wings...

We are a fifth grade integrated class, with some students who are eager to read, but many who need a strong incentive to open a book.

It can be challenging for them to really become fully engaged and pulled in to a story. Most would rather be creating things out of pieces of paper...

My Project

We will be reading Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes as our next Read-Aloud. Our project aims to immerse all our students into this poignant story, while using their strengths-- creativity, crafting, and origami-- to create one thousand cranes to hang in our classroom. Sadako was a girl who became ill with leukemia in the years after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. She recalls a legend that says if a sick person folds one thousand paper cranes, they will be healed. We will delve into this story thematically. We will learn the history behind it, virtually visit the statue of Sadako in Japan, and of course get all students involved in folding 1,000 cranes.

We all need wings-- wings to help us soar to great heights.

We are asking for the materials for our paper wings, which will foster a high level of engagement in reading... which will in turn grant all our students the wings to keep flying to reach for the stars.
