I truly love being a teacher! My students are hardworking third graders that are eager to learn. Each year, we become a classroom community and form a school family. I love how compassionate third graders can be towards their classmates.
As part of our learning environment, students participate in small group learning to address their individual needs and meet their learning style.
We help each other in our small groups to grow as an individual and as a classroom community.
My Project
Please help me provide a fresh, new classroom library for my students. After the trying school we had last year, I want to provide my students with an interesting set of new books for them to enjoy during independent reading time. Knowing that the books are new will inspire them to be the first to read them.
Please help my class get excited about reading this year.
Having new interesting books in our classroom library will excite students and increase their desire to read daily. When students read daily, they are increasing their vocabulary and their knowledge of the world.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
