My Students

My fourth grade students are terrific boys and girls. They are eager to learn new things everyday. They are respectful and polite and truly enjoy reading.

My fourth graders come from diverse backgrounds and share their cultures with each other.

During ELA time, my students like to read independently as well as in partnerships. They work together beautifully and help each other when necessary. As their teacher, I am proud to see how much they look forward to reading time everyday!

My Project

Updated Technology = Success! We would love to keep up with all of the great educational apps that are out there to help my students reinforce their skills. Having an iPad will help us to gain access to many apps that are unavailable on our PC. We will be able to download many educational apps that could be used with our Promethean Board. This will give my students the opportunity to reinforce many skills. We will have access to games and videos that are unavailable without the apps on the iPad. The students will also be able to use the iPad to research many different topics in reading and writing.
