So disappointing. 87% of students at my school come from diverse families and backgrounds while only 37% of the books at our @Scholastic book fair (in our media center this week) have diverse characters on the covers.

How are we to expect our students to make personal connections and grow their love of reading when the stories they are given access to do not reflect them or their life experiences?

By pulling books written by people of color, @Scholastic you are taking away voices and stories that can resonate with the 87% of the students at my school who look like and who share similar life experiences with those authors.

This week students learned how to think critically about the world around them. They read articles on the pros and cons of zoos, watched videos, and visited a zoo to help further their understanding. Students then formulated their own opinions afterwards. #engagedeagles

Test prep has begun this month! Students have been grouped based on reading level. They read through a passage for 5 minutes each day to build fluency and familiarity with the new vocabulary and questions are answered on Friday. Students are engaged & enjoying test prep this way!

This week students rotated around the room to read different types of poems and identified different elements of poetry that they discovered in each poem! #educacion #teach864 #poetry #engagedeagles @GroveElementary

Room 225 had an indoor Snow Day! Students learned about the Science of snow, we read about the first man to photograph snowflakes, designed our on snowflakes, and used area to design our own winter parks! I’d say this transformation was a success! @gcschools @GroveElementary

You know a school is between Thanksgiving and Winter break when the only soda left available in the workroom is caffeine free. #teacherproblems #soda #caffeine #teachers #iwantadrpepper

Today @GroveElementary our assistant principal came to do a writing lesson with my class! Students focused on using descriptive language to add lots of details to their haunted house writings! They were so engaged that they couldn’t even stay in their seats! #thrivinginthird
