My Project
My third graders come to school every day full of energy, curiosity, and a desire to learn. I teach at a Title I school in Georgia, where my students thrive on encouragement, structure, and engaging learning experiences. I want to ensure they have every opportunity to succeed, both academically and emotionally.
I teach reading, writing, and ELA, and my goal is to create a classroom environment where students feel excited to learn and confident to grow as readers and writers.
To do this, we need a few engaging extras to help learning stick and celebrate their hard work.
