My Students

My second-grade students are curious, thoughtful, and very creative. They love to learn and try new things every day. My students always come to school ready to take on new challenges and have a smile on their faces while doing it. It is so inspiring to watch them progress academically and personally.

Like many other classrooms across the world, my students and I are trying to "make up" for lost time and experiences due to the effects of COVID.

This year more than ever I have noticed my students struggling with academics as well as with the social and emotional pressures of school.

Every student in my classroom loves to learn and become a better and better person. In the classroom, I incorporate 21st-century learning skills such as collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking. I have loved watching this wonderful group of kids work so hard to develop those skills and overcome the struggles we have faced in the last couple of years. I am so lucky to be their teacher.

My Project

These resources will provide my students with fun and engaging literature to in spite great readers. Books will be used to read independently or as a class read aloud. I will use these resources to help students develop a love for reading and practice their literacy skills. I will also use some of these resources for science and engineering projects where my students will be working collaboratively to improve their social and emotional skills.

My students will be so excited and motivated to learn from and use these resources to improve their reading and writing.
