On the day to day my classroom is filled with noise, commotion, conversation, and chaos. Or as I like to call it controlled chaos. My students are full of life and excited to be in the classroom, learning in collaboration with each other. I have a class full of students who are unique and interesting. Each student brings a new layer to our classroom. I have a diverse class that care for each other and their education. They are passionate about what they do inside and the classroom and outside the classroom.
My school is a vibrant K - 5th school that houses both a neighborhood program and a Chinese language immersion program.
My students have a rich experience to learn from each others cultures and traditions. Our classroom is full of eager learning and a space to grow and share.
My Project
The project includes multiple versions of classic children's stories. Each story is presented from a different point of view. Reading these books will help my students understand themes and life situations from not only their own point of view but also from another's.
Being able to read these various cultural versions of The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, and Cinderella will increase my students understanding of characters, plot development, and motivation, and theme.
Students will fall in love with these stories all over again. They will dive into what makes a character who they are and be able to evaluate and question these stories. My students will also use these stories to write their own point of view stories from other children's stories.
