My Students
My students are amazing. Every day they come to school ready to learn. They find excitement in learning with their class friends regardless of the topic. My students make work the best part of the day.
Teaching these energetic and curious little people has a lot of perks.
Every day my students have centers to rotate through while I work with small groups at the table. They love the different activities and one of their favorites is the technology center. The technology center is mostly iPads with educational apps to reinforce what our big concept is for the week or the day. My students love helping each other and they love receiving that immediate feedback when they complete an activity.
My Project
Our new Superintendent has challenged teachers to create a “book-rich” environment in every classroom. Book access is a significant factor in literacy development.
Research shows that students in classrooms with high-quality classroom libraries read 50 percent more than students who do not have access to a library in the classroom.
Teachers are encouraged to be “choosy” about the books in a classroom library and to avoid purchasing every outdated and dog-eared book from yard sales. Students need to get excited about the books in the classroom library. Having a high-quality classroom library would allow me to present and display books in enticing ways that encourage and prompt interest, dialogue, and thinking. With a growing classroom library, the buzz about books in our classroom will bloom!
