My Students

My students are hungry for learning, and more specifically, literature choices that reflect characters who experience life similarly to them. Seeing themselves in their learning choices will vastly improve engagement and motivation in reading.

As a whole, my students are eager to learn and put forth their full potential in all that they do.

They particularly enjoy it when I make learning relevant to their lives. My students have already grown by leaps and bounds in their reading skills. They are capable of much more than we can ever dream or imagine!

My Project

Engaging students during virtual learning is so vital in supporting them with their individualized education. With your support, I will be able to purchase creative Teachers Pay Teachers resources to engage my students in reading and writing.

My students will be able to use the Teachers Pay Teachers resources at home through various Google platforms.

When needed, I will also be able to distribute printed materials during our drive-thru pick-up times.

A Teachers Pay Teachers gift certificate will give me the opportunity to purchase resources that will engage my students during this coronavirus pandemic. As a specific example, my students love digital escape rooms and web-quests. Please consider supporting me and my amazing students as we journey through these unprecedented times together.
