My Students
The students I teach are creative, bright, and ready to conquer the world! They are eager readers who enjoy exploring new genres and discussing the books that they are reading. Many of my students also have an intense interest in historical events so I try to integrate history whenever possible. They believe in growth mindset and always go the extra mile in all they do. They push me to be the best teacher that I can be every single day.
My Project
A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park is a historical fiction novel that juxtaposes two different characters during two different time periods.
When my students read A Long Walk to Water they will gain a global perspective and learn how one person can make a difference in this world.
"In 2008, Nya, a young woman who lives in Sudan, walks two hours one way to get water for her family. She does this twice a day. She does not have shoes. In her book A Long Walk to Water, Newbery medalist Linda Sue Park, introduces us to Nya. She also introduces us to Salva, a young man living in Sudan in 1985."
