My students walk into my class every day and expect a safe learning environment where they have all the tools necessary to succeed. I want to make sure that is exactly what they get. Many of them have faced numerous challenges in their life that were beyond their control. I want them to have their education be something they are in control of and they can succeed at.
They are challenged in my class as well as praised.
They are rewarded, but also expected to rise to certain standards. These students are the reason that I come to work in the morning. They inspire me to become a better teacher and to help them in any way that I can.
My Project
"I hate reading." This is something that I hear all the time at the beginning of the school year. I tend to take this as a challenge for myself. I want them to leave my class with not just knowledge to pass a test, but with a love of reading. Because of this, I rack my brain constantly for ways to make reading fun for them.
Every year, as a part of my curriculum, they read the book "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan.
They get into it at the beginning, but then their attention wanes away towards the middle. I want to prevent this. My plan is to make this book come alive to them. I am going to be creating a box for each student in the 6th grade along with the other ELA teacher in the hall. There will be gifts they can open throughout the reading of the book. This is a great way to keep their attention and help them learn all of the skills that we learn throughout the reading of this book.
With 150 students in the 6th grade it can get pretty expensive even when buying inexpensive items. This is where your help comes in.
Please help us make these books come to life for our students by donating anything you can towards this project.
