Creating Human Rights Activists in the 5th grade

My students need recommended books for independent reading such as I Have the Right to Be a Child, Kids On Strike! and Every Human Has Rights to enrich our study of human rights.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rish's classroom raised $360

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students need a variety of recommended texts from our new reading curriculum by Expeditionary Learning. These books will enrich the students' understanding of the topic during independent reading.

I have twenty fifth grade students in my SEI (Sheltered English Immersion) classroom.

All of the students are learning English as a second language and come from countries such as El Salvador, Columbia, and Peru. All of the students receive free breakfast, snack, and lunch.

My Project

These recommended texts from the publisher of our curriculum will supplement the main topic focused on in class. These books are for independent reading and for the students to digest the topic with the assistance of a partner or the teacher. Students will also use these books for reference for their final projects.

These books will compliment the main topic that we are studying.

It will provide background and enrichment information for the topic of human rights. The students will be exposed to a variety of fiction and nonfiction texts.
