My Students
At my school I teach 30 second grade students in which I care about deeply. They truly are the best. These students live in a large urban school district that is under funded. They come from many different ethnic backgrounds and frequently they are missing the building blocks they need for success. Many of my students come to me reading below grade level. This year I have 15 students reading on a kindergarten level. My goal is to have my students reading on or above grade level by the end of the year and to create lifetime learners!
Each day I am ready to teach and my students are ready to learn!
My students are special because no matter what challenges they face they come to school every day ready to work hard. They have smiles on their faces and they do their Best!
My Project
My students this year are lacking in literacy skills and I want to make that my main focus. The kidney shaped group table means that my students can focus and engage during guided reading for the best literacy environment. While I am teaching my group the other 24 students will be actively engaging in the Reading and Writing Instant learning centers. It is important that the other students are learning at this time because every minute counts. The Scholastic magazines are one resource that I believe is top notch. This magazine will come weekly with current events, literacy skills, smart board activities and online resources.
My students will utilize these resources and become exciting and engaging literacy learners!
