My students are from Newark, NJ, a town that is more well known for its violence and crime than its potential and community. Many of the students in my class have faced challenges in their lifetime that other students won't ever experience, but this doesn't stop them. It only makes them more determined.
My students will be the ones who change the narrative about Newark.
Are you looking for the 27 most hardworking and persistent kids around? You've come to the right place. When another classmate is in need, they are quick to lend a hand. They ask and answer deep and meaningful questions and are eager to engage with real-world problems. They stop at nothing to use facts, text evidence, and deep analysis to answer questions. They will change the world.
My Project
Do you remember the first time you were dazzled by a book? Did you lean into the wizarding world of Harry Potter? Laugh at a Series of Unfortunate Events? Get caught up solving a crime with Nancy Drew? My students deserve to fall head over heels in love with a book!
With the help of brand new high-interest books, my students will fall even more deeply in love with reading.
As Nelson Mandela says, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” In our classroom, BOOKS are the most powerful way for us to grow our brains and change the world. Our classroom has a limited library and with knowledge hungry fourth graders around, our books get devoured quickly.
While we grow our skills in reading comprehension, fluency and our love for reading, we need exciting books to lose ourselves in! We are asking for exciting books like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, STAT, Captain Underpants, Dog Man and many more.
