My Students

I teach a classroom full of inquisitive, eager and diverse first graders. My students come from a variety of backgrounds, but each day they strive to do their best, be their best, and achieve their best. We are currently learning face to face in the classroom.

It is so rewarding to see them learn and grow each day.

They have many academic gaps as a result of COVID, but my students have been flexible and positive. Every day they are happy and ambitious to learn more.

More than half of my class are English language learners who need exposure to texts that expand and build their language development. For this reason I am working to build a classroom library that will excite them all year long!

My Project

My students love to read! Right now we are exploring non-fiction books and how they help us learn more about the world. Not only will these books will help my students become stronger readers, but they will help them build critical non-fiction skills such as text features, vocabulary, and determining main ideas.

Help me open the world to them with these books!

Students will get to select titles that interest them and put them in their independent reading book boxes. Every day during independent reading time, students are able to explore books at their leisure. They will be read again and again.
