My Students

We want our kids to LEAP into reading with some new leapster reading manipulative's!

My students attend a title 1 school in an urban neighborhood.

The school has a very strong sense of school pride and we celebrate students every month at a community wide assembly. The students I teach are in grades K-2. They all have different interests that set them apart and make them special. My students are all new readers and get excited about new books.
