This project is full of books about trailblazers in various areas from inventors to artists. My students will be able to learn about the hard work and perseverance these people showed to hopefully inspire them that they can be anything they want to be when they grow up. Using these books as resources students will be able to work with their big buddies to conduct a research report for Black History Month. It is important that students learn about the amazing contributions of all people to the world we live in today.
“You cannot open a book without learning something" —Confucius.
A classroom can never have too many books. It is important to have books that represent all students in our classroom and the communities in which we live.
My kindergarten students come to school every day eager and excited to learn despite the many challenges some are facing. The five best words to describe my students are curious, cheerful, determined, imaginative, and energetic. Many of my students are English Language Learners. Diversity is recognized, accepted, and promoted in our classroom and school. In our classroom children are given time to explore, make related discoveries, and experience enriched hands-on activities. High expectation of learning is set for all my students in an environment that is honest, respectful, caring and safe for all.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
