My Students

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."- Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!

I teach reading & language arts to 58 third grade students in a Title 1 school.

I have 3 groups of bright, fun-loving and eager to learn kids who LOVE technology! We love to sing, dance, read, and act. This is a spectacular group of students who love to work hard together to achieve their goals and grades in reading and language.

My Project

These resources will help and aid our needs to incorporate many, many fun activities within our everyday classroom setting. They will be essential tools to get my students "hooked" into each daily lesson through various songs, photos, and videos relating to what we are studying. I love and enjoy these tools just as much as they do. If they are excited and enthusiastic, so am I and that truly MAKES LEARNING FUN for us ALL!

This will have a HUGE, GIGANTIC impact on our everyday classroom.

It will help to bring the basics of reading and language to life. We can download and make our own endless list of songs, photos, and videos to use and to share with others to make learning EXCITING, AWESOME and most of all, FUN! This "hook" is extremely important in the understanding of objectives and skills! "If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good." Dr. Seuss
