My Students

My students come to school excited and wanting to learn. They get overjoyed when they find that I have new materials to introduce into our classroom. This is due to the fact that many come from low-income homes that lack sufficient materials for school.

The children have a great deal to tell.

They are enthusiastic about bringing their stories from experiences to the publishing phase. My students have come a long way in their writing this year. I would especially like to make our last unit a huge success.

I have eighteen 3rd grade students coming from varying backgrounds. I try to use a variety of learning strategies to help them at school because many do not get help at home.

My Project

The books will help keep my students interested in reading more about mysteries. This will help them to learn more about mysteries. As the kids read they will become more and more aware of what it takes to write a mystery.

In the writing portion of this unit, the kids will use what they have learned during reading mysteries to write their very own mystery.

The kids look forward to this because it is one of the most exciting writing projects they get to participate in all year. The kids enjoy picking out the different pieces of a mystery and putting it together for a classmate to solve.
