My Students

I teach third grade at a diverse school in southwest Florida. Our students come from numerous cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. They are hard workers and love to learn!

This school year has been a challenge for everyone so far, but we are persevering.

I am currently team teaching with another third grade teacher. We have 36 third graders. Twenty-eight are here in-person and eight are remote learners. (These numbers keep changing!) Our two classes include Special Education students, English Language Learners, and Gifted Learners! We hope next year can be a more normal school year!

My Project

During this past school year, we have been using two programs from Learning A to Z with our students. Raz-Kids provides a library of differentiated books at 29 levels of difficulty students use to practice reading in school, at home, or on the go. Headsprout is a reading program that takes students on a digital journey to become better readers, designed to adapt to each student's specific needs and learning pace, and has received favorable independent reviews for its effectiveness in a variety of classroom environments.

Both of these programs have been excellent and I would like to continue to use them in my classroom next year.

Raz-kids would provide my students with lots of additional books to read on their level, and Headsprout would be really useful as a reading intervention.

Thanks for supporting my future students as readers!
