I teach seventh and eighth grade languages art at Cabrillo School, a K-8 in Pacifica, California (on the coast near San Francisco). Our school has a Creative Arts focus, and also emphasizes collaboration and community-building in all of the grades. My students engage with literature and writing in a wide variety of ways throughout the year, including novel studies, essays, hands-on projects (like the Woodsong "dog sled" race), creative writing challenges, Socratic Circle discussions, and the annual Battle of the Books competition for the entire middle school. In the past, DonorsChoose has been a wonderful resource that has funded new classroom sets of books for all of my students. Thank you for your generosity and support!
