My Students
My boys and girls are growing up in the same city I did. It's a wonderful place to grow up. It's small and tight knit and hardworking. Our families want the best for their students but they are also struggling to make ends meet, which leaves little time to instill the love of books. Our community is a suburb of Cincinnati, more than 60% of of students receive free or reduced lunch. Students are coming to school carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. Some of them are exposed to so many negatives.
However, they come to school still seeking knowledge and looking for something that will help them succeed later in life while lessening the load they carry day to day.
They work hard and strive to be the best learners they can be. In our short time together, I have seen an amazing fire be lit in them. I hope to continue setting high expectations to help them overcome the poverty and hardship they see around them everyday. They are deep thinkers who have been given tough circumstances, and still they rise to all the expectations I've had--even surpassing them
My Project
My students are embarking in a new framework for reading. They hear a new read aloud everyday! They are also exposed to book talks and author talks which would also require books. When totaled this would require more than 180 books in a school year. These book swill allow my students to be able to read authors the would not normally have access to as well as seeing motivational books to help them start believing in their ability to not only be readers but to become authors too!
The titles chosen, also will allow the boys and girls to see non-fiction works, which can help with the difficult task of writing non- fiction texts of their own.
