My Students

My 3rd grade class is from central Indiana. They are a beautiful mix of cultures from all over the world. Each child has diverse learning goals so it important for me to expose each student to a safe classroom environment not only where he/she can come to share his/her ideas but also learn in various ways.

My students have become interested and engaged in reading, and I want to continue this trend!

This will play a positive impact on their classroom experience. I want to provide my students with the best educational year possible.

My Project

We have recently switched from a basal to a workshop model. My students need a lot of books at their individual level which right now I cannot provide. We will start a mystery unit where each student will need as many mystery books at his/her level as possible.

I want to have as many mystery books in my classroom library at various levels so that students have easy access to these books.

My students will need to be reading as many books at his/her level in order to comprehend the reading and be able to apply my mini lesson to his/her book.
