My Students

Engage, Engage...Engaged! What a crazy past year this has been! Being back in person, my classroom is full of energetic, excited, diverse learners! My students come from families of varying backgrounds including different socioeconomic statuses and cultures. I have taught for 31 years, and it is amazing to see how students of this generation are not only so savvy with technology but so much more motivated to learn as a result! While their passions, overall, are with technology, it is also great to see their enthusiasm to read actual books!

With a focus mainly upon reading non-fiction, my students thrive to read fictional novels that are written creatively with a variety of figurative language.

My Project

With the push for students to read more non-fiction selections in our common core curriculum, the desire for my students to read fictional stories has increased! My students get so excited to read fictional novels. Sign of the Beaver relates well to our Social Studies curriculum and teaches a great lesson about friendship, but my current set of novels is over twenty years old and is falling apart! A new set of novels would be so appreciated. It is so fun to see my class excited to read! Your support of education and reading means so much!
