My students are the kindest, most determined, hardest working people I know. Many of them face great adversity in their homes and in their daily lives, yet they come to school each day willing to learn and to do their best. I love my students more than I can explain and once they have been in my class, they are forever "my kids."
Because of my love for my students, I'm tough on them, but they rise to each and every challenge set before them.
They are tough, strong-willed, and determined and I'm so lucky to get to spend every day with them!
I primarily teach 10th graders, but I also have a group of advanced freshmen, and I usually teach some upperclassmen as well.
My students are a very diverse group--they live in varied locations, including inside the city and out in the county, they have diverse family situations, and their backgrounds are also diverse--but despite their many differences, they come together to form one of the top-ranked high schools in our state!
My Project
Reading is so important, but often, students get to my classroom not enjoying reading at all, some not having read a full book in years. It's my goal to supply them with enough books that they can relate to so that they are ALL able to find something they will actually enjoy!
I love to read, and by connecting students with books for their independent reading unit, I hope to encourage them to love reading as well.
Please help me celebrate the diversity of all of my students through the books available to them in my classroom.
