My Students

I teach fourth grade at a Title I school in Michigan. My students are always so excited to learn new things. My goal is to provide them with multiple ways to learn and show their learning. This year, my students have a wide range of abilities and instructional needs. I need ways to help best reach them as learners.

My students are a fantastic group of kids who enjoy learning.

I am on a mission to pass on my love of learning to my students. My classroom is a haven for them. I want to provide many fun and engaging learning opportunities for them, along with a comforting environment.

My Project

My students are avid readers. They are constantly found with a book in their hand or exploring our library. These books are some of the ones that they have been asking for, part of their favorite series, and some fourth grade favorites. They helped me create this list of books that they were eager to read.

My students are always eager to read the next book in their favorite series.

They love books like Dog Man and Dragon Masters. I have many students who love books about history like History Comics and History Smashers. I can't wait to see my students reading these new books!
