My Students

I teach third grade at a Title I school with a student population that has nearly seventy percent who receive free or reduced-price lunch. In my third grade classroom, I have students who perform both beyond or at grade level, as well as students who perform one to two grade levels behind. Despite a wide variety of learning levels, my students love coming to school everyday and are ready to learn. Unfortunately, many of my students bring challenges with them to school each day that can impact their opportunity to learn.

My goal is to give my students every opportunity I can in order to help them be successful.

I try to focus on each student's individual needs in order for that student to be truly successful at their level. By funding this program, it will help me get more resources necessary to help achieve this goal in my classroom!

Thank you for taking the time to read about my students and considering making a donation to this project!

My Project

If you walk into my room on any given day, you will find students laying all over the floor reading picture books for pleasure. They are not reading them because those are the books at their level, they are reading them because the books are enjoyable because of the pictures. They love being about to have a "comic-style" book while also being able to enjoy the story along with it!

Your donations will allow me to provide my students with graphic novels that will open their eyes to another type of book with pictures and introduce them to the joys of reading.

Graphic novels are the books that I can't get enough of in my room. Every time I add one to my collection, my students fight over them! They create a list for each book to keep track of who would get the books next. I can't wait to be able to surprise my class with a ton of new graphic novels to start a "wildfire" of reading in my classroom.

Thank you so much for considering my project and helping me provide for my students in more ways than one.
