My Students

I teach Academic Intervention Services to students in grades K-5. I encourage my students to know that they are readers.

“Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.” -Margaret Fuller.

Our rural elementary school in upstate New York has a student population of 350 students. Our students are at risk of failing the New York State Assessments and students who are having difficulty academically are recommended to receive Academic Intervention Services. That's where my room comes into play.

My students are hardworking and imaginative young learners. They strive every day to improve all areas of their literacy deficiencies. My students are all very eager to learn and love coming to school. They are independent, hardworking, and compassionate.

My Project

My students have worked unbelievably hard during this trying year. The second grade team would like to supply all second graders, 45 students, with a camping adventure party. These students worked so hard and deserve to have a wonderful "end of the year party." We hope to decorate each student's desk with a table cloth cover, supply them each with a flash light and small "camping" style notebooks. The students deserve some "normalcy" during this completely unnormal year. We hope the joy that this party brings to them will be remembered throughout their elementary years!
