My Students

Our school is in a suburb of El Cajon in Southern CA. We have a diverse group of students and are a Title I school with 100% of our students receiving free reduced-price lunch. We are a TK-8th grade public school with a performing arts emphasis in the Cajon Valley Union School District. We provide an inclusive learning environment that inspires students to develop talents and grow in social, emotional, and academic excellence through the arts. Our vision is to create and inspire dynamic thinkers through the arts. I teach 6th grade English Language Arts to approximately 90 students who rotate to my classroom throughout the day. I integrate the arts into ELA instruction; and I also teach dance, PE, Social Emotional learning, performing and visual arts.

My Project

A diverse classroom library will support my 6th grade students by offering books at their individual reading levels and of their unique interests. These sets of books are at grade level, below grade level, and above grade level; and include a variety of genres to reach the diverse interests and needs of my students. The beautiful new books in the hands of every student will be used everyday whether for reading pleasure, for their weekly reading log as homework, for classwork and for projects. The benefits of having a wide selection of books at their fingertips is endless.
