My Students

My students are the most diverse class of learners I have had the pleasure of teaching in my decade as an educator. They come into the classroom every day with a smile on their face and hope in their hearts despite everything life throws at them outside (and sometimes inside) our walls. They are individually amazing and collectively wonderful. They use their unique talents and personalities to help each other learn, grow, and feel loved. My students are careful with each other, forgiving, appreciative, and thoughtful. We understand that every learner needs something different, and that those differences are what make our class great.

My class takes learning seriously.

They are curious about the world around them and seek to know and understand more and they see each other as fountains of knowledge to grow and learn from. Although we have an incredibly diverse set of learners who at different places in their journeys, when we come together, it feels like family. As a teacher, this is the sweet spot - having a group of learners come together who can appreciate each other and want to learn and grow together.

My Project

This project will help my students see themselves and pieces of themselves reflected in the books available to them in our classroom library that are engaging, well-written, and interesting to the unique personalities in our classroom.

Students will have more culturally responsive literacy to choose from as they develop a love of reading through the books we read in our class.

This will help them develop positive personal narratives about who they are and where they want to go. With the extensive list of books focused on diversity and mindfulness, my students will be able to develop empathy. Thank you.
