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
Fifth graders are truly a joy! This was my first year teaching upper elementary and I must say, I was a bit nervous. I have since grown to love fifth graders. My students are a group of learners who despite most circumstances, come to class ready to learn with lots of personality and humor. They show an interest in a variety of things and each student is wonderfully different.
My desire for my students is to teach them how amazing they are as individuals and as a group.
They are children who are ready for anything, including a classroom filled with wonderful teaching and learning opportunities! Many of my students are not meeting grade level benchmarks in language arts; yet, they show an interest in reading. They have so much courage, and I truly admire them.
My Project
As a reading teacher, I try my best to create a classroom environment that will excite all readers. The book titles on this project will offer a variety of books that entertain readers of all kinds, including those who prefer comedy, sports or science fiction. Graphic novels are a big hit his year. They offer less challenging reading experiences that students can simply enjoy without the pressure and struggle that some students experience with traditional book formats. You will notice that many, if not all, of these titles are graphic novels. Help add to our shelf of books!! Thank you.
