This is where my journey begins. During the 2017-2018 school year I taught 153 9th grade students English I! The school I taught in was in a low SES area, and the students we served (the overwhelming majority) were below grade level in every subject. At the beginning of the school year, I noticed a severe problem with my students and their reading skills; whether it be orally or reading comprehension. I then knew that it was in elementary school where I needed to be! As a brand new third grade teacher I look forward to instilling a love for reading in each one of my students!
My Project
A love for reading at an early age can greatly enhance a students reading comprehension as they get older! My mission as a third grade teacher is to prepare students with the reading comprehension skills they need to be successful, as well as create a sense of excitement about reading! With these books, the children in my class will grow leaps and bounds! They will learn to use a good book if they need to escape reality. They will learn to dive so deep into a book that they lose track of time. As a child, books changed my life. I look forward to watching the lives of my 32 students change as well!
