I'm blessed to come to work everyday to 19 of the sweetest second graders. My students come from all different backgrounds and about half of my class receives ESL services. Our school is located in a rural area of Virginia where more than half our students receive a free or reduced lunch and we have a school-wide Title I program to provide assistance to our struggling learners.
But no matter where my students come from, they show up each day eager to learn and grow!
In our classroom, we try our best and work to meet and exceed the goals we have set for ourselves. We know that mistakes are only proof we are trying and when we work together with positive attitudes there is no goal we can't achieve!
My Project
With the use of these books, I will be able to give the students strong examples of reading strategies. They will provide us with mentor texts that support our reading and writing goals. Students in my classroom are learning to apply important comprehension strategies such as summarizing, retelling, identifying the main idea & details and comparing & contrasting. These texts will also help to build their vocabulary and learn new important words.
The students will also have the opportunity to read these books for enjoyment to grow their love for reading.
Having strong mentor texts available in our classroom will provide examples of different genres of text and types of writing. Students will utilize these books in many ways during reading and writing.
