My Students
Every day I greet students with hugs and smiles at the door. We start off with "circle" time. Students are able to express their feelings in a circle. This technique helps with the social/emotional aspect of their lives. We engage in a rich text that helps with reading, writing, and expressing ideas.
They are students who are products of generational poverty, but every day strive to do their best.
They are children who are always wanting more, and never allow their challenges to prevent them from learning and striving to be all that they can be. My scholars are very outspoken, and enjoy having their voices heard. I call them the "great debaters" because they would rather verbally complete tasks with groups versus independent practices on a worksheet. They all enjoy hands-on learning. They love for their work to be displayed around the school or on bulletin boards. Our school is such a family-oriented environment. Every staff member takes responsibility for each child's well being. It is never "my students”, it is always "our students”.
My Project
As we approach the holiday season many students are in need of books to add to their home library. Over the years I have ensured students have access to rich reading material in and out of the classroom.
We are full virtual at the moment and many students have expressed their needs and wants for more books.
They aboslutely love the "Who Was" series because we learn about many of the people in the series as well as people they are curious about. Students have given me a list of books they would like to receive from this series that are included in this project.
I am certain that although we are virtual these books will give them an outlet from screen time and not being able to play outside with their friends during this pandemic. These books can also be used for book reports that they have to submit weekly. Not only can they learn about people in history, but it allows their peers to become knowledgeable as well.
