Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 22

The impact has been amazing. We start the year by reading Wonder and each of these book club books connect back to Wonder giving us tons of examples - text to text - in order to help our students learn from other people's point of views. Each of the main characters has a different disability and our students were able to connect prior knowledge to their new book.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Our goal is to give our students a unified reading experience in the area of diversity and inclusivity.  

 

What will be done with my students

We will provide our students with books that are appropriate for their reading level in the areas of diversity and inclusivity. We know that it is crucial for our students to understand others through literature. These book clubs would allow our students to do this.

This is a link to the book club materials that we would like to use to support our students:

Benefits to my students

Our students will benefit, greatly, because they will be able to see the world through others eyes, others that are considerablely different than themselves. Some will explore learning differences, while others explore physical differences. The other ask is that we also have resources that are consistent amongst all groups. This will help to support the literacy teacher and students to have a consistent experience.
