My Students

I teach the most incredible six and seven-year-olds. My students come from very diverse backgrounds. Our school serves mid-town neighborhoods, students from a homeless shelter and safe house, and English-language learners from many different countries. We are all so different, and yet our class feels like a family. We challenge each other, learn from each other, and love each other every day.

My students are incredibly curious, inquisitive, thoughtful, hard-working, and kind!

They help each other out, learn from each other, ask great questions, share ideas and hugs, complement each other and challenge each other, and come to school eager to learn every day. I am an incredibly lucky teacher to have such a sweet, ambitious group of six and seven-year-olds!

My Project

When surveyed this year, my students highlighted our literacy block as one of their favorite times of the day. They often express how much they enjoy digging into the literature, working with words during word work, and letting their imagination soar during free-choice writing time.

Allowing my students to engage in meaningful word work activities has shown a dramatic increase in their writing and reading achievement.

However, our magnetic letters, whiteboard markers, erasers, and colored pencils are all extremely worn down. We are in need of some new materials to keep the engagement high during a critical time of the day!
