My Students

My students are some of the most creative and talented individuals I have ever met. They are eager to do their best and take initiative in their learning. At times with the lack of resources and color within our classroom, we have to get creative in how to best showcase our learning. These students are so positive and thankful for what they have and take great care of our classroom as well as the resources within.

This class continues to challenge and encourage one another in their critical thinking within each lesson.

They love to show their thinking with evidence from their text that they have discovered. It is truly a pleasure to work with this amazing group on a daily basis.

My Project

These materials will give students new resources to learn about important historical figures and how they made an impact in our world. Students will be able to see how their historical figures brought unity in their world!

Having a variety of texts will allow students to have more choice and grasp their attention!

It will give them new information that ensures a variety of readers will be supported by multi leveled books. Our students will see how some of these issues have been changed overtime or are still an issue in our world today.
