Second grade is filled with magic, and our class knows no limits. We are always looking for ways to grow our "magic" by helping others and growing our brains. My students are diverse learners in different stages of development in our community that is on the outskirts of the city in an almost rural setting. They represent a variety of cultures, beliefs, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Some are second language learners. Over 50% of the students in my school qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and now even more will.
As we begin this chapter of education in an ever changing world, their "classroom" is ever evolving.
For some of my students we will connect via digital meet-ups. With others it will be phone calls or text. With some it will only be through paper. Whatever their needs are, I want to give them options to learn whatever excites them and keeps their brains growing at this time. We are all truly part of the learning team and TOGETHER we can help ensure OUR kids have what they need.
My Project
My students loved coming to school and books have always been our love language. We are all doing our best given the current circumstances, but THEY want to keep growing and learning.
Guided Readers provides me with all the tools I need to give them a variety of reading opportunities at home, digital or print.
I am meeting with students via online, text and even the mail, but I need resources to provide them with learning they can access without me. Guided Reading provides me with tools to check on their learning via online or phone. Their learning won't stop just because we can't be in the same space anymore. Please help me continue to give them the gift of knowledge at the levels they need.
