My Students

On my class list are 24 energetic children whom I have the challenge of being engaging while teaching and making us into a community. Even though more than half of my class is below grade level, they are very creative and when given challenges, they really are amazing! I truly love these guys!

Having lots of energy myself, we tend to get up, move, rap, and dance concepts with "attitude" just to keep all of us engaged.

I need to keep things changing and switch things up as I teach from day to day.

My Project

These books were chosen to help fill all those holes that have been created by the last two years. Reading fluency and comprehension were the hardest hit areas because of how we had to teach with Covid-19. Online learning is not easy with 2nd graders and my students have never been so far behind in reading. Getting two of each book I purchased will allow them to read with a peer (someone who reads on a higher level) and then reread with a friend who is on their level for fluency.

The simple act of reading each day with a partner will greatly negate the impact that Covid had on their ability to read fluently.

As stated above, I chose to get two of each of most of the books, so that my students would be able to share with a partner. Reading with a friend is a great way to learn how wonderful books are. This world is a much different world than I grew up in. The books that they want to read are filled with fantasy, super heroes, and graphic novels. I needed to purchase these types of books on their levels so that they would be excited to read. By reading a chapter from each series it will peak their interests, maybe they will even choose a book they wouldn't have thought to read. I am a master storyteller, reader, and have no trouble keeping their interest. My goal? Open their minds to the joy that reading can give us and help them love reading.

The other things on my list were to fill holes in our art supplies and projects.
