My Students
Each and every day, I am surrounded by 40 innovative and exuberant students. Their stories and backgrounds fill my room with color and enthusiasm. They are incredibly open-minded and ready for a challenge when they walk through my doors each and every day.
An adventure awaits, and my scholars choose to rise to the challenge in spite of the challenges they may face at home or the lack of parental involvement.
My students choose to RISE! This is just the beginning for my little leaders.
My Project
These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. These book bags will also help keep our books in pristine condition. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind and to foster diversity. The books in my classroom library need to represent the students that sit in my classroom seats. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.
They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
