Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Imagine a classroom where students discuss reading strategies insightfully, self-select appropriate literacy activities strategically, and support one another to develop grade-level reading behaviors. Within the first five months of school, my class of second-grade students has built a community of literacy engagement through book recommendations, joyfully buddy reading with first graders and kindergartners, and continuing to recommend reading CAFE strategies to one another to collaboratively decode words.

The typical student in my classroom is more skilled at retelling story elements in Spanish than in English.

One-hundred percent of our students are African American or Latino, and 16 of 21 of my students are learning English. Our classrooms are dilapidated and access to classroom furniture and organizational tools is nearly nonexistent. Nevertheless, my students and savvy, supportive of one another, and genuinely excited to read. They set goals and continuously work to achieve them.

My Project

Is that number 26, 206, or 260? Many of my students have mastered the fundamentals of addition and subtraction, but genuinely struggle when it comes to constructing and reading three-digit numbers. Especially for students who struggle with visual processing, students need classroom tools that will help them conserve the hundreds, tens, or ones place with a zero, guarding that number's value. Additionally, students need materials that can help them make sense of zeroes in the hundreds, tens, or ones place to read unknown numbers.

Many of the same students who struggle with place value also struggle to retain a solid grasp of spelling, especially when it comes to letter reversals.

Having additional exposure to word families and common spelling patterns will help students check their spelling for accuracy (If it is in the same word family as "smile," do I spell that word "pile" or "plie"?). Students will have the opportunity to memorize some common word families so that they will be able to fluently read and write a greater number of unknown words, freeing them to focus on text comprehension instead of just decoding.
