In my class, I have a culturally diverse population of 22 fifth graders from a variety of income levels. They are wonderful, caring, strong leaders. We work a lot on positive thinking and being mindful of how we can succeed. I believe that if I empower my students with knowledge and a quality education, they will have everything they need to be successful adults.
My students are enthusiastic and energetic fifth graders.
We are a Title I school, meaning over 90% of our students come from a low socioeconomic background. Many of our students have learned English as a second language, come from diverse family situations, and have moved multiple times during their elementary school years. Even in the face of such challenges, they maintain a positive outlook and desire to learn. I could not be more proud to be their teacher.
My Project
My daily challenge is to provide challenging lessons that meet the many needs in my classroom. My students have various reading and writing levels that span from first grade to sixth grade. My students need paired texts that span the elementary grade levels. These resources that I am requesting do just that! I can give each student meaningful, interesting passages from these kits and workbooks which will allow them to practice reading and writing skills at their own level.
All of my students will be following the 5th grade curriculum during our literacy block, but these resources will enable them to learn with materials at their level.
