My Students

My classroom is such an exciting group of mixed interests, abilities, and goals. They represent a variety of learning styles and levels of learning. In this class, we build a community around what we have in common and our shared experiences. We work collaboratively to make learning meaningful and purposeful.

We are part of a larger school that celebrates individuality and learning styles.

One of our goals is to incorporate more hands-on learning and reading experiences so that students may reach proficiency.

I teach at a Title I school in North Carolina in which 100% of our school receives free breakfast and lunch.

Our school serves grades Pre-K to 5th grade. Our school saying is "DREAM BIG and GROW" and that's exactly what my students strive to do every day!

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. Every student book that is placed in my library is chosen and displayed with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these exciting books have been chosen with my students in mind.

These fictional texts will allow the students to venture into other worlds and envision new adventures as they experience the world through the various character's eyes.
