My students are the best. I bet a lot of teachers say this. They are so fun to be around. Each student has a great personality that makes our classroom fun, engaging, hard-working, and unique.
I was very lucky with my class this year.
My students students all seem to care about one another. I have had students constantly looking out for one another in their personal and school lives. I have worked hard with my students in being honest. They understand that honesty is the best policy and if they are honest, they don't get into as much trouble, because it means they understand they did something wrong.
I have more girls than boys in my class, which is uncommon in my grade. This dynamic has made it an interesting class in that we do a lot of acting/dancing in our class. This class challenges me, but they also make me want to be a better teacher for them. I love pulling pranks on my kids and being sarcastic. We love telling stories and really emphasizing what makes each of us unique.
My Project
I am wanting to have multiple copies of books within my classroom for students to read as a class. I am wanting to offer my students non-fiction and fiction opportunities for books that we could read together as a class.
These books will give my students the access to entertaining stories.
As a new teacher, I don't have the resources to have many books within my classroom. I would like to offer my students group books that we can do together as a class. This would be the best opportunity for us. The books I chose were Hidden Figures for a non-fiction story and Tuck Everlasting for a fictional story.
