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
Hello! I teach at a Title I school in Gadsden, Alabama. Our class is made up a diverse group of students from many different backgrounds. Approximately one third of our class are English Language Learners. Many students receive services to enhance their academic success.
I have an awesome group of students that have jumped aboard and will become life long readers! My students have limited access to books at home. My goal is to offer many different books that my students can see themselves reflected in a positive light.
My Project
We are using the Amy Lemons reading program this year. This program gets my students excited about reading independently due to high interest in the books. This program introduces students to rich vocabulary through trade books. Comprehension, writing, fluency, and hands on art activities are addressed with each book.
Using these trade books in my classroom will continue to increase student engagement and desire to read!
Salt in His Shoes talks about Michael Jordan and encourages our students to reach for their dreams. These Shoes teaches compassion. The Three Javelinas brings diversity to our classroom and reaches our Hispanic students.
