My Students

My students are insightful, determined, responsible, and full of questions! They all are learning English as their second language and are determined to overcome any obstacle in their way. They deserve resources to help them succeed in the classroom in addition to what is already provided by our district.

In our classroom we are a team and come together to help one another.

Some students tell me that it feels like their second family.

Each and every day they are ready to learn, try new things, and take on any task that I put in front of them. Truly, they are my inspiration!

My Project

All of my students have expressed interest in reading Hatchet, which is coincidentally, my favorite book. I am so excited to start this literature study. However, I only have 5 copies of the book and in order for us to do the unit as a class, we need more copies!

My students love to read!

I am so happy that all of my students are excited to visit the library on Wednesdays, get their books out for silent reading time, and even ask to borrow my own books from my classroom library to borrow and read.
