My Students

I teach fourth grade at a Title I school in Michigan. My students are always so excited to learn new things. My goal is to provide them with multiple ways to learn and show their learning. This year, my students have a wide range of abilities and instructional needs. I need ways to help best reach them as learners.

My students are a fantastic group of kids who enjoy learning.

I am on a mission to pass on my love of learning to my students. My classroom is a safe haven for them. I want to provide as many fun and engaging learning opportunities for them, as well as having a comforting environment.

My Project

This year has been a difficult year for students across America. My students are an amazing group of kids who are so happy to be in school. One important aspect this year is parent and teacher communication. I had purchased all of my students take home folders but these have not survived the many travels home. These communication folders will last my students all year.

My students need these folders in order to learn organizational skills.

My students are behind academically. We are asking for more anchor chart paper in order to make more charts for math and reading for the students to reference too. Lastly, we are asking for more pencils because they always seem to disappear!
