My Students

Students in my school, year after year, crave the opportunity to create, think, and discover. As an educator, I strive to incorporate multiple methods of learning into each lesson including the use of manipulatives, personal white boards, creative educational games, student created puzzles, etc.

Providing these opportunities for children to explore and express themselves while supporting their educational needs not only increases engagement with the content but also creates life long learners who are college and career ready.

I love to see the joy on my students' faces when they engage with material that is challenging and watching them persevere in completing the task.

My Project

This comprehensive classroom library will be a welcome change for my Fourth Graders. They too often become bored with books that they read from year to year. This classroom library has a plethora of classics and newly copyrighted books to not only spark their interest and keep their attention, but also instill a love of reading and a desire to explore literature on their own.

My students very much enjoy having autonomy over what they read.

This library is full of high interest and rich texts that will support any number of lessons to meet state standards. I am excited to use these books with my students and engage in reading with them!
