My Students

Upon entering my classroom, you might not have any idea of the incredible magic that is actually happening. My students are full of energy, excitement, and compassion. They are enthusiastic and love school and learning!

Both social and educational learning happens simultaneously at any time during the day.

Our classroom is nestled in a public education school with approximately 720 students of mixed ethnic and social-economic status. Our families are mainly middle-low to low socioeconomic status. We are a school set in an urban location and receive Title I funding. Because we are such a diverse community, our school delves deeply and immerses the children immensely into the arts. Music and art and creativity, are things we all understand regardless of the language we speak. We are an incredible school that delves its students into learning and encourages collaboration amongst all students regardless of ethnic background, economic status, or academic and learning style.

My Project

Coming back to school after a long year and a half, most of my new students have not had access to an organized library. I want them to be excited to read and feel like they are able to do anything they set their minds to.

My goal with this project is to have my students feel empowered to be able to easily choose from an organized library with multiple different types of books that are fun and engaging.

My second graders need organization tools like new book bins and new bookshelves to be able to understand the power of reading. In order for my students to find the book they are interested in, the books have to be organized in a way that second graders will be able to pick a book freely and the students will know exactly where to find the book they are interested in. This will help our love for reading in our second grade classroom!
