My Students
My students are special because they are going on an amazing journey with me -- this year we are opening a brand new elementary school! This means that on top of all the cool new things they learn in 4th grade, they're also learning how to function and succeed in a school that is still finding its footing.
So many of my students haven't been in a "normal" classroom since kindergarten due to the pandemic, but they try every day to do their best and they LOVE learning.
I want to give them everything I can to help them reach their goals and make them feel comfortable as they are back in the classroom, and I know they want the same for me and their peers.
Sometimes I am in awe of the incredible acts of kindness I see from these tiny, tremendous humans; in just seven short weeks I've seen their kindness and curiosity flourish, and I am so excited to spend this year with them.
My Project
I want each of my students to have a copy of The Lemonade War, by Jacqueline Davies, for our novel study about point of view, theme, and describing characters and settings.
It is great experience when I get to read books out loud to my students, but it's even better for their comprehension and reading skills when they get to follow right along with me!
Having a copy of The Lemonade War for each of my students will allow them to read the book as I do. This will be helpful for returning to the text, and it's just more fun to be able to hold the book in your hand while the teacher reads!
