"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." I want every single one of my students to be successful in life. I have extremely high expectations which I expect them to meet each and every day. A typical day in my classroom is fun and hands-on! My students look forward to coming to my class!
My students have a desire to learn about the world around them.
Our school is concept-driven and focuses on ways to organize and make sense of learning, rather than just facts and superficial learning. We ask questions such as "How does it work?" and "How is it connected to other things?"
I teach in an extremely high-poverty school where the majority of my students are on free or reduced lunch. My students need materials where they can apply skills to be used in the real world.
My Project
These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy-I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
