My Students
I teach 26 dynamic second and third graders in a small, Title I public school in Northern California. My students come from diverse cultural backgrounds and family situations; yet, we come together as a class. My students each have their own learning struggles and strengths; yet, each child's individual needs must be met in our second grade classroom.
Each student learns differently; yet, each child has to master second and third grade Common Core standards. As their teacher, I must find different ways to help each child meet those standards, in two different grade levels!
My Project
Have you ever gotten hooked on a book so much that you want to read more and more books in the series? That's exactly how my students feel when they read Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Big Nate, Ranger in Time, and My Weird School.
My students are blossoming into avid readers and discovering the joy of reading through books that interest them. New books help create excitement in our classroom library and interest in trying a new book or book series. When my students read books that interest them, they have trouble stopping their book to move on to other classroom activities. That's what books do—they open a whole new world!
