My Students

I am a third grade teacher with a variety of students. I am always looking for ways to reach all of my students' learning needs. My students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds and represent various ethnicities, learning styles, and ability levels. My students are hard workers, very busy, enjoy working together and love using technology. Every day we are learning new ideas and applying our learning during hands-on activities. We love to work around the room during partner work and stations. My students are problem solvers and are eager to try new things. They enjoy having a choice in their learning and are developing their independence every day.

My Project

My students will be using nonfiction books to learn about maps, geography, land-forms, and natural disasters. I need these books to help support my students with the new 2020 South Carolina Social Studies standards. These books will give my students the information they need to learn and engage them in the new curriculum.

Students will be developing their love for reading and learning about geography.

Having non-fiction choices in our library will also help students build up their background knowledge. Students will be reading about mapping skills, geography, land-forms, and natural disasters. These donations will improve my classroom by allowing my students the opportunity to learn important geography skills that will enrich their educational experience.
