My students are a fun group of creative and active fifth graders. We live in a rural, isolated village in northwest Alaska, where many students practice subsistence hunting and fishing to support their families. Most of my students are Native Alaskan and are taught traditional native values.
My students love playing sports, hunting caribou, riding snow machines and four-wheelers, going ice fishing, and sledding.
My students are a diverse group, with strong ties to their families, their culture, and the land. In the classroom, they are an energetic group that enjoys working in groups, doing hands-on activities, and playing goofy games.
My Project
My students this have almost made it through a crazy year of masking, social distancing, and hybrid learning. Through it all they have persevered. Every month they get new books to bring home and keep. Amulet and My Hero Academia are books that I have brought to the book giveaways in the past, and they have all been claimed. The students just love these books, and other students have asked if they could also get copies to take home.
These books are already loved by the students, they will be brought home and read again and again.
Please help me put these great books into the hands of my students!
