My Students
My sweet, sweet students love to write! They love to play pretend and they love to learn.
My school has over twenty-five countries represented in it.
My school is also a Title I school and 47% of our population is English Language Learners. My students live in neighborhoods where poverty and crime are the norm. My students face numerous struggles each day. They come from families that are not always able to provide supplies or academic assistance.
Given all of the challenges my students face each day, my hardworking second grade class comes to school every day with a smile on their faces and love of learning in their hearts. It is very simple; my students love school. School is their safe place. It is more than just the place where they come to learn. It is the place where they are loved! In many ways, my students are typical second graders. They are full of wonder, joy, and laughter. They love books, puzzles, and markers. Life is not always easy for these kiddos, but they have learned that hard work and perseverance pays off. It is an honor to be their teacher.
My Project
My students will use these books in a variety of ways. These books will be mentor texts for daily writing. I will read the books to students daily in a shared reading format. The students will use these books to conduct research on habitats. They will also use them to write about themselves and learn how to convince someone to agree with them.
Second graders love to tell stories they just need to learn to write them.
My students need to learn how to write opinion pieces, personal narratives, and research papers. I will use the books in this project as exemplar examples of what their writing should look and sound like. The majority of my students are reading below grade level & I will read these books aloud to them. As a class, we will then connect writing to reading. I hope by gaining confidence in writing will inspire my students to grow as readers.
