My Students

My students are constantly on the go. They always strive to work together and help each other learn. I am so impressed with their willingness to learn. My students try their best with whatever we give them. I would like to be able to expose them to different types of learning to suit their needs. Each child wants to achieve their goals, it's my job to support them in meeting these goals. They are ready and waiting to soar to success!

My Project

We are in desperate need of new books. Our classroom library no longer has books that can help stimulate our growing needs. Please help us add new books from some of our favorite authors. With these new books we will be able to develop key concepts of print. We will have book talks about main characters and story plots. We love to retell our stories using beginning, middle and end. With these new books each child will be able to bring books home to have their families read to and with them. Fostering a community of readers is a goal I would love for my children to achieve!
