Help me give my students a Cricuit heat press, high interest novels, and comfortable pillows for flexible seating opportunities while engaged in reading.
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
My 4th and 5th grade gifted classes are full of personality. The students are creative, curious, dramatic, and funny. The varying characteristics are a reflection of the diversity that exists among them. While some students are being raised in a two parent home, majority of them come from single parent homes or are being raised by grandparents with little income, so school is the place they turn to for a chance to focus on something positive while having fun and learning.
My students range from ages 9-11 and are always eager to experience new things, especially when it involves the use of technology.
As gifted students, it is of vital importance that they are provided with opportunities to express themselves through varying platforms.
My Project
Project "Novel Study Gear" will provide my students with the high interest novels titled "Bridge to Terabithia" and "Rules" to read and study, comfortable pillows to relax in the classroom while reading, and the opportunity to design and create their own t-shirt using a Cricuit and Heat Press!
When students are given the opportunity to deal with text through various processes, they are more likely to develop a higher level of comprehension of the text.
This project will allow my students to read a high interest novel and design a t-shirt based on their favorite character along with a quote from that character.
