My class is full of energetic, third graders who love learning. My kids enjoy working together. They are optimistic and full of life. They love learning new things. Every day, I look forward to teaching them.
My students are curious and creative.
I am proud of each student because of their ability to try, even when it is tough. My school has a great faculty who all work together to make sure every student is successful. Our school is a wonderful place to be!
My Project
Teaching language arts can be a very exciting thing. I have found that kids have a natural excitement for learning and reading. They love when we read books and I love using those books to help improve their learning. It is amazing to find books that are entertaining and help the kids learn how to read.
My kids love to read new books.
We are excited to use the books on this list. These books will help my kids understand multiple reading skills. We can't wait to use these books in our classroom. Thank you for helping my kids become better readers!
Half of students from low‑income households
