My students would love the opportunity to experience a yearlong subscription to Storyworks, a Scholastic publication. This would provide wonderful enhancement to my targeted instruction. In working with small groups of students, this resource will allow me to focus on specific skills and needs that individual students have, while engaging them in a unique way.
Trees cannot tell jokes, but they can sure tell stories, and the story told in Wishtree creates a family within the four walls of our incredible classroom.
An additional request I have is to obtain a class set of the book Wishtree by Katherine Applegate. I had the amazing opportunity to share this work of diverse literature as a read aloud with my students this year. As a read aloud, it just wasn't enough. Each child was desperate for their own copy, so I put it under the document camera. Their pencils were hard at work quoting the book. Placing those quotes on post-it notes and putting them on their desks, their lockers, their planners. A kindness and acceptance movement erupted in our classroom. We were changed. This moving story brings diversity connections similar to our own student body and brought intense conversations and connections to our classroom family. This is the way I plan to being my school year for 2018-2019. I can hardly wait.
