My Students

My sweet students are sponges constantly wanting to absorb more information. Their curiosity and love for learning are heart-warming.

My students love listening to books and reading.

They love finding words they have learned in the books they are reading and hearing funny stories.

My Project

Due to the pandemic our country is experiencing, our school is now closed. We are entering uncharted territory and beginning distance learning. I would love to be able to provide my students with quality books that I can read to them that cover the material for the rest of the school year. I love incorporating literacy into all content areas and have chosen books that will do that. I have chosen books that will help boost morale and help me teach science, mathematics, literacy, and writing skills that need to be taught.
