My Students

My students are amazingly talented rising stars who will conquer and change the world. I have the honor of working with all grade-level students this year. I will be pulling and co-teaching the highest students and teaching them to be prepared for the next grade level. These students are charismatic and unique. The students have no complaints about working at a grade level higher but instead are seeing this as a significant challenge.

My Project

Vocabulary plays a fundamental role in the reading process, and contributes greatly to a reader's comprehension. A reader cannot understand a text without knowing what most of the words mean. Students learn the meanings of most words indirectly, through everyday experiences with oral and written language. With the use of these wonderful vocabulary journals and class binders students get to apply them each day with guided practice. These journals create a tool that can be passed on for the next grade level to utilize making it a rich resource for everyone in a school.
