My Students

I teach 4th grade in a small rural community. The students that I work with have huge hearts and an excitement for learning!

We are blessed with smaller than average sizes, and the kids really care and look out for each other.

Teaching in a school with one class per grade level means that your entire school, students and staff, are like family.

My class has many different personalities as well as many different learning styles. I try my best with our limited resources to provide as many opportunities as possible to give my students various activities and tools to learn with and challenge them.

My Project

I will use both the Scholastic News magazine and Time for Kids to help teach my kids exciting and interesting things going on around the world.

Both magazines will help teach my kids more about what is going on outside our rural community, but also give them a fun and interesting way to look at informational text.

Scholastic News and Time for Kids are well known magazines that are created just for kids at their grade level. They provide great discussions for present day situations and ways to also connect to history. It was also give students an opportunity to use informational text more in the classroom as well as work on reading strategies that will help them on state testing in the spring.
