My Students

Our first grade classroom is a place full of excitement and curiosity. The kids love learning about animals, science, and current events.

My twenty-five students arrive at my door full of enthusiasm and energy.

While they all share enthusiasm, they are a diverse group skill wise. Some of my students are able to read at a third grade level, others are learning the sounds of the alphabet. Four of my students are English language learners. The kids love to learn through movement, art, and technology.

My Project

My students are home during distance learning. Some have many books at home, others have few. I would like a good assortment of books that I can deliver to their porches. We will do open ended literature activities with their new books. The kids can do multiple activities with one book, and they can make their new books part of their home libraries. I will also use some of the books to read to my students during distance learning. My students love to read, share, laugh over, and discuss good literature!
