We are a Magnet School that focuses on wondering, exploring, creating, and leading through science. We are working to be lifelong learners!
Our amazing class students from many different cultures.
We are all so unique and different! We have 5 different languages spoken. We love to celebrate our differences and work as a community! We currently have a 30% white, 28% black/African American, 19% Hispanic/Latino, and the rest of our students are two or more races, Native American, or Asian. Our school is serving 25% of the population of English Language Learners, 15% special education, and 53% of our students receive free or reduced price lunch.
My Project
Our students read to make connections, make sense of the world around them, and to grow. I will use these books in my mini-lessons to help engage my students. With our thriving diversity, it's crucial that students have a sense of belonging. For some kids, it's as easy as finding a book with a character who has similar experiences as them.
We are requesting culturally responsive books that will help my students develop their love for reading.
When students can see themselves in a story, they are able to apply lessons to their own life. These books will help inspire students to work through their hardships and work towards being the best that they can be.
