My Project

Our classroom of newcomers learning to speak English, work together collaboratively, listening to books read to them, and learning to read is growing daily! I will use the books to teach students to see the world through someone else’s eyes. The books chosen here have characters displaying kindness, empathy and compassion.

We are creating an inclusive classroom environment where compassion, kindness and empathy are valued!

We will read, discuss and then draw or write about the concept learned from the book. I will measure the students learning of how they can make the world a better place with discussions, picture drawing (mind-mapping) and writing sample's. These newcomers are learning how to read in our classroom. I teach phonics instruction and we have created an environment to offer support for each other when learning to speak and read in English through game like activities and working collaboratively with partners.. We encourage and give positive feedback to each other for trying to speak and read and each student is included and celebrated on every attempt. The games will promote problem solving skills, creativity and collaboration among the students.
