My students are an amazing group of diverse learners in Maine. We have students from all economic circumstances, many of whom are English Language Learners. We are in an urban environment located on the coast of Maine.
Students at our school need rich learning opportunities, facilitated by knowing teachers.
Due to the various backgrounds of our student body, we are in need of materials and tools to narrow the experiential gap of our students, especially those tools which strengthen language development. Our school is an important part of our local community and strengthening our community connection is a priority.
My Project
This is a project for the supplies needed for our research project. We will use the paper to create their book. The students will use the markers and paint to illustrate their book. All students will use the sharpies to make their words POP!
Every spring first graders research a Maine animal of their choice, write an informational book and publish their book.
This is our annual project where students take ownership in their learning. They research, write and create a book on their chosen animal. They then use this book to teach other students and their families about their animal.
Thank you for considering this project that turns first graders into authors!
