My Students
The students at our school come from culturally diverse backgrounds and over 10 languages other than English are spoken at home. Our school reflects the diversity of San Francisco, and I watch my students come to school each day ready to learn despite not always having enough food or enough sleep. Over 90% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch and over 60% are designated English Language Learners. We are a Community School, which means that we team with community partners in order to serve both our students and their families. We recognize that students need to be supported and develop in all aspects -academically, socially, physically, and emotionally - in order to succeed in life and we are dedicated to meeting those needs for each individual.
My Project
Although I have gone to great lengths to diversify my classroom library, there is still so much work to be done! I have a wonderful group of 22 3rd graders from very diverse backgrounds and I would like them to be able to see themselves in the books that they read.
Students who see their lives reflected in the books they read are more likely to be engaged in reading and will feel the power of their story being told in print. I want each and every student to experience this, over and over again. These books will be part of my read-aloud repertoire as well as in the classroom library for independent reading time.
