My Students

I teach reading and math to 107 fourth grade students. We are from a high poverty school. Eighty percent of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the adversities they face in and out of school, they persevere academically. My students are adventurous, innovative and compassionate.

A number of my students struggle with reading and perform on a second-grade level; this does not stop their drive and hard work.

My kids are very active students who love music, dancing and moving through the classroom. They also love to solve problems and work hands-on. My students love Flocabulary, however, our subscription expired. It is an awesome way to engage students on comprehension skills in reading.

My Project

Flocabulary is a program for all subjects that uses educational music to engage students. Flocabulary has resources for project based learning which will help increase achievement, help develop core literacy skills, and bring curriculum to life in our classroom. We use this each week and need your help renewing our subscription.

Flocabulary has had a lasting impact on growth and motivation in our classroom.

We use this program to engage in our reading comprehension skills. Flocabulary has a song for every skill in our classroom. My students love the animations, learning activities, and raps. They also enjoy creating songs by answering questions about their skill. I post student activities for them to work independently or whole group.

Lastly, this reading resources will make learning fun for my kids. My students face many challenges in and out of school. These tools motivate students and increase their love for school and learning. Thank you for helping up Grow with Flocabulary.
