My Students

Welcome to my page! I appreciate you taking the time to learn about my class! We are a Title I school located in Georgia. We have a variety of ethnic backgrounds within our school. Our school currently has a 100% poverty rate.

Given the opportunity to meet my students, you would quickly fall in love with them just like I have.

Even though my students face difficulties in a variety of ways daily, each and every one of them come to school excited and motivated to learn. I am blown away daily by how much they are capable of already at such a young age.

My Project

Having these reading books to use in our groups help my students grow! They foster a love for reading. My students cannot wait to see what story we will read each day. This project will help my students by providing them with books of interest as well as materials on their specific reading level!

We LOVE reading!

In my classroom, I foster a love for reading. We read every day! I love to give my students books that they are interested in. This helps create a classroom environment filled with a love for reading.
