Mrs. Nelson from Southaven MS is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
Help me give my students a class set of the book The Science of Breakable Things for a novel study.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
I would like to get a class set of the book "The Science of Breakable Things" by Tae Keller to be used for a novel study in our classroom. This award-winning novel follows the journey of a young girl named Natalie as she navigates the complexities of family, friendship, and the power of hope.
By incorporating this book into our curriculum, my students will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions, critical thinking activities, and creative projects that will enhance their reading comprehension skills and foster a love for literature.
The themes of resilience, empathy, and the importance of pursuing one's passions explored in the book align with our educational goals of promoting social-emotional learning and cultivating a growth mindset among our students.
The impact of this novel study on my students will be profound and long-lasting. Through exploring the characters, plot, and themes of "The Science of Breakable Things," students will not only improve their reading and analytical skills but also develop a deeper understanding of empathy, resilience, and the power of hope. By engaging with the story and participating in related discussions and writing activities, my students will be able to make connections to their own lives, broaden their perspectives, and build a sense of community within the classroom. This novel study will not only enrich my students' academic experience but also nurture their social-emotional growth and inspire them to approach challenges with curiosity, creativity, and perseverance.
