My Students

These students come from a challenging background. Their uniqueness makes teaching a great experience as they aim for greatness daily. Receiving help from donors gives my teaching that supports my need to expand my students' understanding.

I am a part of this challenging, but amazing community.

Our school serves 100% reduced/free meals. There are high-poverty/low-income families served. We are bordering the Navajo Nation Lands, so we are about 97% of Native Americans enrolled in our school. The majority of students live off the paved roads, which gives families the challenges of coming to school every day. A majority of our students come from single-parent households.

Our school makes every effort to positively impact the school culture and we continuously work with our families and the challenges they face each day. We use our school-home connection to engage families in activities allowing for more participation. Making strong lifelong learners and continuing to engage students to take part in their education is what we strive for.

My Project

The materials included are grade appropriate and engaging for my students. The books are highly engaging to students as they will be starting off a new year in 4th/5th grade combination class. Students will start off a new year with new books. They are going to start off with new learning experience with more rigor.

Books are the start of an enjoyable material to initiate the love of reading into students.

Books will be used in small literature groups to engage students in new readings. These materials could also be used for many years. We will be able to start our class library with grade appropriate books.
