My Students

Reading is fundamental , reading is the key to explore a world outside of where we live. It can taking children to new places to learn beyond the classroom

I have a diverse student body, a group of bright scholars.

Who are moving forward each day to become better students, they are responsible and value their education. Each student has his or her own personality which makes them unique and special in their own way. it's a privilege for me to teach them and provide them with a positive learning environment.

My Project

The leveled library will provide a variety of books at their current reading level. This will actually help the students move to the next level. We are moving towards providing the students with an enriched curriculum through guided reading that will cater to each students individual needs.

It is important as a teacher for me to provide them with a constant challenge to push them as well motivate them to be their best.

As a teacher and a parent I know the value and importance of education and what impact it could have for and on the future.
