My Students

I team-teach third grade, and I love it. I love my students, and I learn just as much from them as I hope they do from me! My students are full of life, and love working together each day in our classroom.

I am blessed to be their teacher, and I love seeing them get excited about what they are learning!

My students love to read, and I love to be able to provide a positive, print-rich, and comfortable environment for them to learn in each day.

My Project

My students are wonderful, I love getting to work with them each day. As we learn different skills and reading strategies, I always like to have a read aloud to go with what we are learning about. My kids always think it is so neat that I can find books that go along with what they are learning!

It is my goal to have a good-fit book for each strategy that we are working on!

The books that I am requesting would be used for years to come! Whether they will be used to help work on building character, being kind, or to connect it back to a reading skill...I know my students will benefit from having these books in our classroom library!
