My Students

I teach fifth grade in a title one public school. This means that the majority of the students in our school live at or below the poverty level. My students come from a variety of backgrounds. While a lot of my students come from two-parent homes, many of them come from single parent homes. I also have students being raised by grandparents and other family members. Despite these obstacles, my students are bright, curious and eager to learn. They are proof that with the necessary materials and a positive learning environment poverty doesn't have to be a deterrent to a good education. My students love science and doing experiments and reading nonfiction. This year they have really enjoyed learning about the election process and how our government works. They have lots of interests and love learning about anything new to them.

My Project

A class set of "Who Was Anne Frank" will help to enhance our study of the Holocaust and improve our non-fiction reading comprehension. It is very important that students understand the impact of the Holocaust and that we never forget. These books will give my students a first-person account of what life was like during this time. In addition to learning how huge an impact the actions of a few people can have the books will help them improve their reading skills. They will learn new vocabulary words and strategies for understanding non-fiction text. These skill will carry over into other areas such as science and math. These books will also be used by my future students in years to come.
