My Students
My second graders are voracious readers! They love to read both fiction and nonfiction books. Their favorite characters include Pete the Cat, Fly Guy, Piggie and Elephant, and Mercy Watson. They also love to read about insects, space, and plants. My students are hungry bookworms! They are eager to learn and read about the world around them. My class is made up of general education students, children with special needs, and English as new language students.
My students love to be at school and are like little sponges, absorbing everything around them.
Their parents work long hours and usually do not see their children. The children are usually cared for by their grandparents or a family friend. Most of them do not have someone who speaks English at home. Thus, it is difficult for students to acquire the English language.
Due to financial hardships, my students do not have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities during the school year or summer.
My Project
I would like to read character books with my students in read aloud and in small groups. As part of our reading unit, my second graders will study and delve deep into a character from a series to understand character traits, patterns, and character motivations. The characters we will be studying are Elmer, Pinky and Rex, and Katie Woo. I will meet with students in small reading groups to discuss and analyze the characters. Each student will need a copy of the text to follow along. Students have been improving in their reading so they are ready to read more challenging books!
Your donations to this project will ensure my students and I will have series books we need for reading groups.
Thank you so much for your support as we maneuver through these difficult times.
