My Students

The students in our school strive to have pride in all things we do. We focus on positivity, respect, involvement, and academic excellence to create an environment where students can thrive! The students in my class love to work as a team to learn and grow together.

My incredible students have a growing curiosity to gain knowledge.

They all come from different backgrounds and have different learning styles and challenges, but each of them can find answers and joy in reading new books.

Our entire class revolves around reading. There is only so much we can do with a limited classroom library. A larger more diverse selection of books would help each student to build confidence and a desire to become a life long reader. Please help us become life long lovers of reading and help us become the future mathematicians of the world!

My Project

Books should be a part of every student's life. In my busy classroom, I want students to experience the wonder of choosing a book and discovering a new way to see our world. Many of my students are lacking in books at home. Developing a classroom library that has books that meet different reading levels and interests is my dream.

I want students to be excited to choose a book to read.

I want them to let their curiosity lead them to discoveries that will make them want to learn even more. In addition, I want students to be able to read books that bring them joy and comfort when life is stressful. I want them to read silly books that make them giggle and teach how to rhyme.

Please help me create a library that will make our classroom magical. A classroom library will be the center of learning and love that all students can use.
