My Project

I have a passion for creating a love for reading and writing! 4th grade students are the perfect sweet spot for cultivating creative thinking and writing! I want my classroom to reflect my aim which is to stir up a love and energy for reading and writing!

Having a half moon table and rotating bookshelf would allow me to get to know the students on a more personal level as well as assess their progress throughout the year!

The students will also have the opportunity to get to know one another and learn how to feel more comfortable with oral reading and discussion questions.

I believe what makes my students special this year is because they will be my very first students I've ever taught. I want our first year experience together to be delightful and accommodating for them as well as myself!
