My single gender classroom will inspire at risk boys to achieve! During the 2008-2009 school year, I will be teaching an all boys class in second grade. Our school is a Title 1 school, with a large percentage of economically disadvantaged students. This will be the first single gender class in second grade at our school.

Current research suggests that boys and girls learn differently, and at risk boys especially, need activity and motivation to become good readers. My current reading materials are not gender specific, and I would like to provide high interest, challenging reading books and educational games to boost achievement and excitement.

Next year, as I begin a new journey in my all boys class, having new, specialized reading materials, will greatly enhance my reading program. Students will be working in small cooperative groups, with current, interesting books, magazines, and learning games.

With your support, it will be possible to tailor my reading instruction to best meet the needs of my at risk students in a single gender class. Your support and generosity is greatly appreciated! I look forward to sharing our successes with our contributors!
