My Students

My students love reading, but many of them are still struggling with reading independently. We work hard every day to help improve our reading skills while having fun. It's my goal that I will be able to help my students develop a love for reading just like my teachers did for me.

I teach first grade at a school with a very diverse population.

We have students from all different backgrounds with very different home lives. My school is located in an area where most of the families do not have much money, and often barely have enough money to cover their basic needs. My school is a choice school in our district so parents from any part of the district can choose to send their students to our school. The families here want only the best for their child and work hard to help their children to succeed in school even if they have limited time, money or even English speaking skills at home.

My Project

The listening center will be allow small groups of students to listen to a story and follow along with the reader in their book. After the story they will be able listen to questions and check their comprehension of the stories even if they are still working on becoming independent readers. Having this listening center will allow one more center in my classroom so I can have smaller groups to work with and give students more personalized help during their time working with me each day. The whisper phones will be used when students are practicing letter sounds and decodable reader books. It can become very noisy with students reading to themselves, but these whisper phones will allow them to whisper their words and still hear themselves saying it without distracting others in their group or the entire class.

These items will help my students become strong independent readers and listeners.

These items will provide my students with more opportunities to explore reading and listening independently and finish first grade confident in their reading skills and be ready for second grade next year.
