My Project

I am returning to teaching and will be teaching in a Title I school and looking to make my classroom a fun place to learn. There are many hurdles that can stand in their way of having fun learning, such as English as a second language, qualifications for free lunch due to poverty, and lowered opinions of ability because of factors not in their control. However, my students are capable of reaching high expectations. They are amazing, kind, hardworking, and have a thirst for learning. With a fun place to read (tent) or and rug to hold whole group read a louds will help me give my students a place a safe, fun place to learn.
