My Students

Our class consists of 22 leaders that will positively impact our world. We focus on STEAM activities daily. These activities include hands on learning, project based lessons, and problem-solving activities. We spend a lot of our day engaged in reading.

Our class mission is to work together to reach our goals by being Respectful Leaders!

We are a community that values relationships, education, and dreaming big!

We look forward to expanding our knowledge through the reading this year! Please consider helping us.

My Project

3rd Grade is a year where students transition from learning how to read to reading to learn. Our classroom is in need of more books and book sets to read. We spend time daily reading whole class, in small groups, and independently. I am looking to get a variety of books that are fiction, nonfiction, and of varying levels.

Having new books in the classroom will engage students in reading!

I have selected high interest books that students will want to read. I am very excited to show the class new books that they will be reading! Please help us increase our classroom library.
