My Students

The students in my class are eager and enthusiastic learners. They love school, often telling me that they wish the school day would last longer.

Their literacy skills are increasing daily through phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension practice.

They express their growing literacy skills along with creative imagination through bookmaking activities. They enjoy reader's theater and center activities when they can interact with their peers.

They are delightful to spend the day with. I, too, look forward to coming to school just to spend my day with them!

My Project

Due to the pandemic, many first-grade students have come into first grade with learning gaps. We are working really hard to get the children back on track and to become motivated, independent readers. My first-grade students absolutely love non-fiction books. Many of my non-fiction books are worn, outdated, or were lost during remote learning.

I want to give my students a robust selection of high-interest books to help them grow as readers.

We will use these books for a variety of reading activities in the classroom, and I will also select books for each student at their independent reading level to take home each night for practice. Having these these exciting and engaging books readily available will have a huge impact on my students' reading progression.
