My 5th grade classroom consists of both English and Spanish dominant students each eagerly learning a second language. They are bright, creative, outstanding students who are well on their way to success.
They have demonstrated their ability to work collaboratively while immersing themselves in challenging tasks in both English and Spanish.
They work as a unit, no matter what I throw their way. Furthermore, they have demonstrated their skillfulness in handling diverse social and academic situations. Most importantly, they are always eager to help anyone, in any way they can. They stand up for what is right, and promote fairness and equality in all that they do.
My Project
My students are truly compassionate people and would leap at the chance to help others. Scripted curriculum doesn't always allow for an investigation of diverse current events and the teaching of what it means to be a global citizen.
The UNICEF Kid Power Band program will expose my students to the terrible reality of poverty today and encourages them to make a difference in the lives of others, one step at a time.
My class is full of children who are constantly moving. Whether they're playing tag or tapping their feet, they are constantly full of energy. UNICEF Kid Power will provide my students with an excellent opportunity to learn about and help children just like them while moving!
With UNICEF Kid Power, students will watch videos, close read articles and stories, and engage in multicultural activities and physical games in order to expand their knowledge of healthy living and eating. With these UNICEF Kid Power bands, my students have the chance to learn what it is like to be a global citizen, while improving their reading, writing, speaking and listening abilities at the same time!
