My Students

I have fifty-two diverse third grade learners. My students show a great amount of enthusiasm for learning. They are particularly interested in EVERYTHING technology right now due to learning from home! Their excitement for learning is exhibited daily, as is their support for their peers.

“All of us do not have equal backgrounds, but all of us should have an equal opportunity to develop.”

We are in a mostly low-income/high-poverty school district, with many of my students facing several challenges both in and out of the classroom. We strive to make school an enjoyable experience where all students feel safe and engaged. As their teacher and an educator of color, I aim to foster their curiosity through equity and a love of learning. We appreciate donations as well as any positive thoughts you send our way!

My Project

The book titles chosen will give students a variety of high-interest subjects to enjoy. These books will help my students to develop a love of reading even when at home. The books and activities will also include the parents' participation and encouragement.

Books provide a new adventure, for students as they meet the characters and explore the plot while reading at home.

During the school year, we will explore different reading standards. The new books can be used to analyze the story and apply our reading standards.

Most of all the books are great reads and they explore social issues with many of the characters that look like my students. The new books help parents who may not be able to purchase books during this global pandemic. Let's Read!
