My Students

Our community has a very diverse set of learners and I want my classroom to reflect this. My students are eager to learn and with the necessary supports, quickly accumulate knowledge and critical thinking skills. We will spend our days throughout the year working through rigorous reading, writing, and math problems. We also will not allow this to diminish our interpersonal learnings and commitments to bettering ourselves while building deep relationships.

As a first-year elementary teacher, I am working towards building a comprehensive classroom space that will benefit my students and support all their social, emotional, and academic needs.

My Project

These books will help build our classroom library to fuel the students interest and love of reading. During the pandemic many books were sent home with the students. Now that we are coming back to school in person it feels vital to have a library that encompasses the wide range of readers we will have in our classroom. I want my students to feel like they have choice in the books that they read. The books range in levels, and across genres. They also include special books for my developing readers. All the books chosen range in reading levels and interests for 4th and 5th grade! I am excited for my students to come back to school with a stocked library so that they can feel successful and grow as readers.
