My Students

I teach second graders. These second graders are so excited to participate in school when hands-on approaches and technology are involved. They are smart and creative. They are excited to participate in writer's workshop and publish all types of stories and create all types of art. They are excited to learn math skills, spelling, grammar, reading, vocabulary, and physical skills.

Second graders are the perfect age to foster a love of learning that should continue throughout their lives.

They live in view of the beautiful mountains and are active every minute of the day. Their favorite time is when we get together in our classroom for read aloud. They laugh and joke and support each other.

My Project

As a teacher, I want to do the best for my students. Trying to start them on the path of being lifelong readers is one of my goals. These books will be a great addition to our classroom. Some of my favorite books are fractured fairy tales. I have grown up with fairy tales; my students have grown up with fairy tales. Fractured fairy tales give us great stories with familiar characters, but a fun new perspective. I can't wait to share them with my students.

The science of reading is coming to the forefront of education and is gaining traction.

I would like to bring decodable chapter books into my classroom to support those students who want to read chapter books but who are not quite ready for trade books.

Books are tools to help us learn and to see the world in new and magical ways. There are also several books that will help me help my students. Thank you for considering helping me bring these new tools into my classroom.
