My Students

My students are curious, enthusiastic, and full of joy. They come from low-income homes but you would not be able to tell by their attitude. My class focuses on being a big family and we treat each other that way.

Hungry is a great way to describe my students; hungry for knowledge, hungry for technology, and hungry for new opportunities.

Our school is a Title I school and often students have problems with obtaining supplies and resources. They love technology and completing hands-on activities. Their engagement and knowledge increase with these opportunities. They inspire me to be the best teacher every day.

My Project

My students often ask why are there not more books with characters like them. Students are more likely to read books that have characters that they can connect with.

I want to help my students see themselves in their learning and understand just how wonderful they are.

Literacy is a skill that is a school wide emphasis. I believe with an increase of these book titles it will provide increased engagment in reading. The diversity helps create an environment of kindness and courage.

The students will be exposed to stories that will help build hope, confidence, and a sense of belonging. The students will be able to connect with stories that mirror their daily lives. Plese help me provide this opportunity for my students.
