My Students

My students are the best students there are! They are often volunteering to help each other learn. They encourage learning from both themselves and others. Each of our students is amazing at a continued growth mindset, making even large challenges seem doable.

I teach creative students who strive to be problem solvers.

No one is required to bring in supplies, so sometimes we lack needed supplies to help everyday learning be both engaging and child-centered. Supplies can really help these students succeed.

They love art, STEM, science, and reading.

My Project

Sometimes students have a hard time learning how to find good books to read. Engaging books, like graphic novels, are a great entry point for struggling readers. In every job, in every educational endeavor, we need to know how to read. Interesting books help students learn how to read not just for school, but for pleasure.

Engaging books are a great way to keep students reading now and for a lifetime!

If I have books that students want to read in my classroom library, I am already getting students reading more in some cases than they would have otherwise. Newer titles help keep interest especially when they are in a series. Students will seek out that series or author for additional books to read.

I also added a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to help me find great resources to go along with these books and find engaging ways for students to share what they read with their fellow classmates.
