My Students

My students are a wonderful and exciting group of boys and girls, in an ICT (integrated collaborative teaching) classroom. This means that 40% of my students are in special education, and the rest are in general education.

We are a Title I school and work hard to ensure that everyone learns and succeeds.

I want them to have everything they need, and deserve to have, to make their school year exciting and fun, as well as productive and successful throughout the entire year.

My Project

My students are great! They love to learn and they love to read. I want to ensure that they have enough books to read, at different reading levels, so that they can continue to read great books and to learn to read like a rockstar.

Remember when you were 5 years old and you finally opened that one book you were able to read all by yourself?

I want my students to learn that feeling as well. These just-right books will help my students receive great book titles at varying reading levels while they learn to read throughout the school year.
