My Students

I teach the most wonderful group of 2nd graders! We always start the day with enthusiasm. Our school motto is "Excellence in all we do" and this is something my students strive for. We want everyone in our class to succeed.

My second graders love learning and are always looking for new and different ways to apply their learning.

My students learn in many different hands-on ways throughout the day and throughout the year. We would love more materials to enhance our learning even further!

My Project

I would like to give my students more books to choose from in our classroom library. I would like to add to some titles that my students are familiar with, like Dog Man and Arnie the Donut. I would also like to add books about different cultures and how they celebrate holidays.

Choice is the easiest way to increase students' interest in reading.

With increasing my classroom library with new titles, it will create more titles for my students to choose from. My hope is to share titles that will get my students familiar with different cultures and different types of text.
