Read the Book, Take the Pledge

Help me give my students their own copy of Wonder to hold and follow along during our read-aloud.

Hurricane, UT Grades 3-5

My Students

I have a large class of 33 students. Our fifth-grade class has fourteen girls and nineteen boys. One special needs student visits our classroom to participate in holiday celebrations and large group activities. Another student that started the year with short visits is now in our classroom full time.

My students have positive attitudes and encourage each other to be their best selves.

Many students are involved in activities like the school choir, STEM Club, Robotics Club, Geography Club, student council, and peer mentoring. They are looking forward to the school spelling bee, talent show, D.A.R.E., and our fifth-grade field trip to the intermediate school (maybe with a little hesitancy :).

My Project

First and foremost is putting a good chapter book in each of my student's hands. Modeling good literacy skills is the purpose of the classroom read-aloud. By having all students hold the copy of our read-aloud text, each child can interact with the text. They see and hear vocabulary that may be new to them. During the reading, portions of the text can be emphasized with a reread. Struggling readers can have access to material that they cannot read to themselves. Writing comes from reading, and reading a good book helps my students become better writers.

My students are more engaged when they each have their own copy of a book in their hands during our read-aloud.

If at some point we revisit distant learning, my students can join in on a Google Meet and a digital novel response activity. In class, the buzzers keep students excited about responding to questions and working with their team.

Lastly, my choice for all of my students to read Wonder is because when you get lost in a book, you feel a connection with the characters and their lives. Wonder is a story of kindness and courage through anti-bullying, having compassion, accepting others, and showing empathy. While my class is over the top kind, reading about a character's struggles will give them the chance to feel and think in new and different ways.
