My Students

I have twenty, eager, little learners. They are hard-working, smart, and kind children. My students come from all different types of backgrounds and from non-English speaking to fluent readers.

They are faced with academic and social challenges each day in our classroom, school, and community.

My students enjoy working with their peers to complete fun activities based on their individual learning needs. They like to move around, talk with their peers, read, and receive positive feedback from their teacher. Cooperative learning is a big part of our daily classroom activities because of the wide range of learning styles and abilities to read. They work together to learn from each other and strengthen their social skills at the same time.

My students are going to be world changers. I see happiness each day as they walk into the classroom. They are already doing great things this year. They inspire me each day to learn and grow with them.

My Project

My students favorite part of the school day is independent reading. Students are able to select 5-6 books from our classroom library to read quietly at their seat for 15 minutes each day. Students love shopping the library for books about topics they are interested in. I have many students who love non-fiction. Our class library is in need of books about dinosaurs and animal habitats. Many of my boys love dinosaurs and know so much about them. They are always asking for more books about dinosaurs and animals. These books would be a great addition to our classroom library.
