My Students

I might be a little biased but I think my students are truly the best! They work very hard to participate in assignments as they are building their reading skills this year. They are learning how to work as a team as they build social and life skills. Second grade is year of tremendous growth for students. Their reading was hit hard by Covid, reading is now in their math as they are learning addition and subtraction of double digits, and solving word problems. This hasn't stopped held them back though! They love to read, to be read to and having the opportunity to explore books!

My Project

Children's stories have many wonderful resources that allow educators to find opportunities to teach and excite learners as they can apply the lessons to their own lives. Lessons have fun crafts for students as well as extra worksheets that can be shared for additional opportunities and fast finishers.

Having these resources available not only helps teachers plan more extensive lessons but it allows students to expand their thinking and share ideas with a worldwide audience.

Learners get the best information that is offered in lesson plans as teachers can explore, create and have at their fingertips a world of opportunity to offer their students. These lessons can be added as supplemental material to state standards and school curriculum to bring fun into the classroom.
