Despite the low-income homes many of my students come from, they still thrive in my classroom, and are always imaginative, loving, and bright.

Our classroom works hard for 4-12 minute rotations during Reading time. My students practice building their reading stamina, work on their spelling words, listen to read alouds, and work on writing. Markers and white crayons are a big tool that is needed the most at this time. We run out very fast.
I have many different academic levels and needs in my classroom. As their teacher, my goal is to provide my students with the materials they need to be successful.
