Windows and Mirrors Pt. 2

Help me give my students an opportunity to strengthen their timed reading and writing of diverse text by choosing to donate funds to purchase a digital wall clock and 35 copies of their next wish list text!.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Raston's classroom raised $408

My Project

Help my students prepare for Part 2 of their journey through perspective as they engage in a series of relevant young adult literature that highlights the varying perspectives of youth today (both immigrant children residing in the United States and youth native to the United States). With their first Wish List text, "Does this Make My Head Look Big", I sought to offer my students a window to view the perspectives of immigrant children within the United States.

However, this text, "Monster", offers a mirror shedding light on the harsh realities many of their demographic have faced and possibly will by giving them an opportunity to grapple with the "why".

My desire is to offer students a moment of reflection while simultaneously strengthening their timed reading skills and encouraging endurance in their reading to complete the whole text through the use and implementation of a class wall timer.

Your help is needed to continue this journey so please choose to sponsor the future/continued learning of my students as they experience the world through relevant YA literature today! With much love from Ms. Raston's class.
