My first grade students love to learn! Every morning they walk into our classroom with a big smile. They love to read, to be read to, play math games, work on coding and write stories. They are curious and inquisitive children, and they challenge me every day to grow with them and be the best I can be.
We work hard to create a classroom community where students can explore, wonder, and discover the world around them.
We ask questions, share our ideas, expand our learning environment using technology, and publish our work to share with the world. They work and collaborate with one another to learn.
Our school also focuses on character building. Children's kindness and compassion are recognized and celebrated. We are proud to be a part of an amazing school. We are family. We learn, play, laugh and grow together!
My Project
Young children love to be read aloud, and also it is one of my favorite things to do with my students. I would like to add more books that promote acceptance and kindness to my classroom collection. Read aloud time is not just fun but also gives students opportunities to lean about the world around them.
When we read books together and have conversations as a class, children make connections and develop empathy towards one another.
Books are one of the most powerful teaching tools in the classroom. Please help me expand my classroom library by supporting this project.
