This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Many students benefit from the free or reduced-price lunch program. Some of my students do not come to school with all the necessary supplies. Although that is true, my students are hard workers, and they do not let anything get in the way of their learning. They try their best in all that they do. Our class motto is "Work hard. Be kind." They always stick to the motto as best they can.
My Project
A class set of the fiction book Flora and Ulysses by Kate Dicamillo will allow students to close read the novel. Students will be able to have their own personal book to annotate and analyze. Providing each student with their own copy of the text will allow all students (including those learning from home) to follow along with the rest of the students in the class. The addition of the larger hardcover book will be essential in assisting students during the annotation portion of the novel student as the book will be shown on the document camera. Additionally, we will be able to further our author study as we will also be reading Kate Dicamillo's Because of Winn-Dixie.
