My Project

My students are one-of-a-kind. They are bright, caring, courageous, and cautious. They love to explore, dig deep, and find information on their own about all sorts of topics. They can be caught completing work via Google Classroom about the Gold Rush or insects to prepare for a writing project about why we should save insects all around the world. They could be working on some grammar activities or giving a presentation about the Articles of the Confederation.

By giving my students access to quality literature, my students will be exposed to a variety of skill development opportunities with just a single title, The BFG.

Not only will we work on developing our vocabulary with both real and nonsense words, but we will also work on discussing characters, settings, and plots. They will have the opportunity to compare and contrast across these areas of literature, which is one of the biggest standards we have in 5th Grade this year. They will also be able to connect to the storyline, as the little girl in the story is a 10-year-old girl.

My students love to read, and they love to be read to. By providing access to these materials (just a class set of books), my students will be gaining so many skills and exposure to literature that they may have never picked up on their own. Roald Dahl is one of the most inspirational authors in my own life, so I would love the opportunity to pass this along to my brilliant 5th graders.
