My Students

Imagine a classroom that is organized, colorful, and inviting; an environment where students are comfortable and excited to learn each day. Reading workshop begins and some students are seen working in groups with teachers and others are relaxing with books that they've coveted for days.

I teach a wonderful, diverse group of fourth graders in a small school in New Hampshire.

Their reading needs vary from basic phonics to upper elementary novels and I work hard to meet their needs each day.

My Project

"When we are collecting books, we are collecting happiness." (Unknown)

One of my goals this year is to spark a love of reading in each and every student in my classroom by connecting them to books that are a perfect fit.

They've been thriving during reading workshop and many want to bring home what they are reading in class to continue their reading adventures.

Many kids do not have access to books at home. These see and store book totes would allow the kids to bring their favorite books home each night in their backpack and safely back to school the next day.
