My Students
Our district is very small with only two schools in it, and our school has approximately seven hundred eighty students total, but we are growing quickly.
We live just a few blocks away from the Pacific coast.
My students come from a variety of backgrounds and family structures. They are all full of life and have a huge love of learning! Our students work hard, have huge dreams, and deserve an education that not only consists of textbooks but also technology with hands-on learning, magazines, newspapers, and so much more.
My Project
We are asking for class sets of two different novels. Both of these books will help supplement our social studies curriculum, and will help us to integrate social studies and language arts together. "Indian Captive" is a true story about Mary Jemison, who was captured in a raid as young girl and raised amongst the Seneca Indians. "Blood on the River" is a historical fiction novel that takes us through the times of Jamestown and weaves a story that will capture the students immediately.
By having a novel for each student, they are able to see the text come alive, pull out text evidence when writing about the authors point of view or comparing characters, and can expand their fluency and vocabulary.
