Reading enables my students to learn about parts of the world both abroad and on domestic soil that they can not easily visit. Third grade is a time when students typically transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn". My students have successfully made the transition and they are ready to go! The book, "Amal Unbound" will take my students to Pakistan. They will have the opportunity to learn about what some of life is like there. Specifically, they will learn about servitude and freedom. While reading the novel, supplemental non-fiction readings will also be used to further help students understand more about this region of the world. The book, "From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler is another novel that will open the world to my students. This book, will take my students to New York City, specifically, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While reading about the adventures of Claudia and Jamie in the museum and the works of art they see, supplemental materials will be used to show the students these works of art. I team teach with another teacher. Our approach is to group the students in both classes so that lessons can be delivered on the appropriate level for the group. Each student will need a book in his/ her hands to help them with the reading and social studies content. Students benefit tremendously when more senses are engaged. Holding the the books engages the tactile sense, while reading along engages the visual sense and hearing others engages the auditory sense. Please help bring the world to my students! Thank you!
