My Students

Our elementary school is full of charismatic 4th grade students who are eager learners from diverse backgrounds. We are focused on the development of our students' manners, respect, and responsibility. Our 4th graders are from the heart of Henderson, Nevada and they are between the ages of 9 and 11 years old.

Our students enjoy exploring various concepts through hands-on activities.

They are enthusiastic about new concepts and ideas in the classroom, we as teachers are always looking for new ways to motivate and inspire our kids, and encourage them to push themselves beyond their perceived ability.

My Project

There is nothing like holding a book in your hands as you take a journey through a new topic or idea. My students need to hold and read materials in their own hands. Being able to add these reading materials to our classroom library would offer my students these amazing reading experiences. Having a diverse library for my students to choose from is more important than ever. Topics like science, social studies, and culture are hot-button topics in our world today, these reading materials would help to make diverse options a reality in my classroom.
