My Students
My third grade classroom is part of an inclusive school community that serves students of diverse backgrounds in the city of San Francisco. My students start off each school year writing down their hopes and dreams. They have big dreams to become veterinarians, doctors, artists, gymnasts, etc. They are filled with the drive to do and be their best, and they all believe that a quality education with good books would get them to achieve this end.
As a Teachers College Reading and Writing Project School, the school immerses the children in a vibrant culture of literacy.
Children can be found reading in the hallways and always carrying a just right book in hand. Not only are children filled with wonder and knowledge as they get lost in a book, children at this developmental age cultivate essential critical thinking and communication skills from a strong literacy foundation that will prepare them to become our future leaders.
My Project
My mission is to cultivate a multicultural classroom that values empathy, tolerance, and diversity, and I need books that reflect these values. The collection of books in this project contain new titles that will teach my students stories from diverse cultural perspectives, how to develop a growth mindset when confronted with a problem, and empower young girls. Nonfiction books with an original take on high-interest topics are also included in this collection to rally students around this important genre. I can envision using these books throughout the year as I continually build a joyful classroom community that values all learners.
