We Love Graphic Novels!

My students need graphic novels to read for fun. I want to encourage them to read on their own free time and not just to read assigned texts.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gonzalez's classroom raised $187

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I have 27 energetic fourth graders in my New York City classroom. Many of the children come from low-economic households but they have big dreams. They understand the importance of a good education. Most of the students attend after school programs as well so they are expected to sit for most part of the day at their traditional desks and chairs. Imagine sitting on uncomfortable chairs from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Flexible seating options would make them more comfortable and give them an opportunity to move, which is great for their brains.

My students work both in homogeneous groups and in heterogeneous groups in order to accomplish their daily learning targets.

Flexible grouping is not only an instructional strategy but it also teaches them how to work well with others which is a lifelong skill.

My students would be so excited to be the first class to have flexible seating in our school!

My Project

My fourth graders favorite genre is graphic novel. The illustrations captures their attention. They are inspired to create their own graphic novels. I have talented students who enjoy using their imaginations and creativity. Their artwork, reading skills and writing skills are improving. A few of my students wrote a proposal to form a comic book club in the school. They are meeting with the school principal to plan it out.

My students light up whenever they see a new graphic novel in the classroom library.

Once they pick it up, they do not put it down until they are finished reading it.
