My Students

My students are AAA: amazing, awesome, appreciative! They love learning and reading great books. They love giving hugs and using encouraging words to help each other.

If a task is difficult, they will work with any of their classmates to help them.

They are respectful of adults and very helpful if adults need assistance in our building.

They love working with our younger scholars. They play and read to them and help them when they are sad. When they are lost or need to visit a part of our building that is unknown, they will talk to them and take them to that destination.

Most of all, they have taken on the role of leaders in the school. They take care of the school community by making sure it is clean, encourages recycling and give words of encouragement and high fives to our younger scholars.

My Project

Students in the upper Elementary Grades should learn about current events every day. One way to do that, is to have them read Scholastic News regularly.

Scholastic News magazine is engaging, ignites curiosity, and helps students learn information quickly due to its high interest content.

Students read about interesting events and information that are happening around the world. The magazine is a sure way to build background knowledge, gain new knowledge and get students interested in many topics. Students are fully engaged with relevent stories, videos, and activities that connects learning to the real world.
