My Students

My classroom is limited. It is lacking high interest books. My students were overjoyed when they realized that I purchased a set of Wimpy Kid series books. They have all asked me if they could take the books home. Unfortunately, due to the fact that I have only one copy they are not allowed to take the book home.

I am a NYC Teaching Fellow in my fifth year of teaching.

I teach a 4th grade special education class (multiple subjects). My classroom demographic is diverse. My students are of ages 8-11. They have been diagnosed with learning disabilities (speech/language impairment, cognitive/developmental delays, etc.) sensory impairments (visual, auditory), related health alerts (ADD/ADHD) and emotional/behavioral disorders (EBD).

My Project

I am requesting copies of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series and "Dork Diaries". There is just something about these series that has captivated my students’ attention. Even though the main character is un-cool, my students seem to be inspired by the character’s skill to stand up to bullies in the end. My students seem to be so mesmerized by the book series “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”. Another reason why my students like this series is because of how the author lays out the text on the page. The majority of my students suffer with ADHD/ADD, and as a result struggle when it comes to reading lengthy text which is not separated by breaks. The “Wimpy Kids Series” breaks up the texts with mini illustrations and short paragraphs.

I am requesting copies of the Diary of the Wimpy Kid Series for each of my students as a moving up to the next grade present.

Currently I have only one copy of each book in the series. My students are afraid of putting the books down because they are not sure when they will be able read it again. This is a constant struggle amongst themselves that is difficult for me to watch. Everyone wants to read the books at the same time.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
