My students are are diverse individuals who enter school with many different problems from home, but we have worked very hard since September to create a sense of community in our class. Through a new strategy introduced to the class, Readers and Writers Workshop, students have fallen in love with ready and writing because they can read any novel that they are interested in and act as their own authors in terms of their writing. Because of this, they have become active readers and our class discussions so very rich. Their quirky look at life in spite of their hardships is heartwarming and we are all looking forward to continuing this journey as readers together.
