My students are a fun group of creative and active fifth graders. We live in a rural, isolated village in northwest Alaska, where many students practice subsistence hunting and fishing to support their families. Most of my students are Native Alaskan and are taught traditional native values.
My students love playing sports, hunting caribou, riding snow machines and four-wheelers, going ice fishing, and sledding.
My students are a diverse group, with strong ties to their families, their culture, and the land. In the classroom, they are an energetic group that enjoys working in groups, doing hands-on activities, and playing goofy games.
My Project
Our classroom library is filled with books that students enjoy reading in school and at home. Recently, I asked my students if there were any books that they wished were in our library. This is the list they came up with. My students wanted more scary stories and graphic novels. By adding titles that my students chose themselves, the kids will feel ownership of their classroom, and will be more likely to read the books that we have. I am also requesting some baskets so I can display the terrific new books.
These books will enable me to stock my shelves with books that my students really want to read.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
