My Students

My first graders are excited to walk through our classroom doors! Despite the wide variety of backgrounds my students come from, each one has the desire to learn to read. These young minds are eager to see what each day holds in our classroom, to help them in their academic journey.

When a student learns to read, their mind is filled with endless possibilities.

Many of my students are first-generation English learners. Learning how to read and write is opening up many opportunities for my students and their families. They want to be at school, and their sweet faces show it. Their smiles and hunger for knowledge warm my heart as I strive to provide them with a variety of opportunities.

My Project

Pencils are used every single day in writing. Unfortunately many students missed out on daily writing if they were online. Students need to hold their pencil the proper way. Using these Tri-Write pencils, students grip their pencil correctly and will build up the stamina for daily writing.

Each of my student uses headphones a couple times a day to work on their individualized learning platforms.

These headphones need to be comfortable and good quality for the students.

Engaging students and providing unique ways to practice writing can really boost learning. These writing tablets are great option for whole group and small group lessons.
