My Students

I am a third grade teacher on an Indian Reservation in Montana where we serve the most wonderful children! We have a very unique population in our school district. Many of our children are members and descendants of the Salish and Kootenai tribes, where heritage and culture run deep and strong and our children are our most valued blessing. In my classroom, our only school rule is, "Be kind!" Along with learning reading, science, technology, math, and other core subject matters, teaching children to be kind and treat each other with respect is the most essential lesson one can teach.

All of our K-12 students receive free breakfasts and lunches daily.

When children are raised in an area of low economics, it takes a community of caring parents, teachers, and mentors to bring hope, joy, and encouragement into learning environments for brighter futures. Our purpose and goal is to help every child learn that they can be and will be a vital part of their community, heritage, and culture by learning how to be successful students, excellent citizens, and future role models.

My Project

Our third grade class library is stocked with books that have been on the shelves for many years and the wear and tear of time has left our bookcase sadly lacking in inspiration!

Greatness and Giggles is my way of getting the students interested in reading by providing them with books that they love to read (the giggles), and biographies about people they can aspire to be like in their lives (greatness)!

I can vividly picture my students giggling during reading club, curled up in a special corner of our classroom as they read their favorite fiction books. I can also see the deep concentration on their faces as they dive deep into the rich history of the biographies and set inspirational goals for their lives. Both scenarios lead to better vocabulary and comprehension skills and create a love for reading!
