My Students

My students are a prime example of the melting pot that is our country, as they represent over 30 different countries in my three classes! Just like the great variety in our backgrounds, my students come to 6th grade with a great variety in their ability to read independently. Some of my students are reading by themselves at an 8th grade level while others struggle through 3rd grade passages.

My students are enthusiastic and passionate about their learning and crave the opportunity to discover new things for themselves.

My Project

Help me provide my students will a better small group table experience by giving them resources to organize our space better.

Flexible seating options will greatly increase my students ability to engage in our small groups.

I will also be able to better organize their work with drawers and wall hangings to keep pencils and markers for them to use without having to constantly go get them from other areas of the room. I want to engage my students in better, more intriguing lessons and a well organized small group station is a great way to do just that
