My Students

My eager 2nd graders are like little sponges soaking up all the new things around them. They have a drive for questions and knowledge that keeps me busy and looking for new ideas and concepts to teach them.

Most of my students do not have any other educational opportunities outside of school, so they come to school very eager to learn.

They appreciate anything that I do for them. They are always eager and ready to dive into whatever we're learning.

My Project

These magazines will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create! My students love reading and learning new things! These magazines give them access to relatable and current news!

Students will have access to these engaging resources in the classroom and for digital learning!

What better way to stay connecting while hybrid and social distance learning!

By supporting my project, you support the learners in my classroom! These magazines will help them continue to learn about the world around them, build scheme, and enhance their comprehension!
