My Students

Amazing! That word describes the students who walk through my door every day. I teach a creative group of first grade students. My students are inquisitive and like to question why. They are full of energy and give one hundred percent to everything they do. These children have big hopes and dreams, and I try to bring our curriculum to life with hands-on, innovative activities.

When you take a peek at my classroom door, you will see eager faces of students who are ready to learn.

You will see students who enjoy sharing laughter with their peers, putting their problem-solving skills to use with STEAM activities, creating artwork, and playing with their friends. I want my students to know the sky is the limit and that they should reach for the stars.

My Project

First grade is a huge year for learning to read and for learning to love to read. The Princess in Black series books are early reader transitional chapter books. I want to add a copy of this series to our classroom library. We are fortunate enough to have an Inchy the Bookworm vending machine and I want to put a set of The Princess in Black in Inchy also. Students can earn book tokens for Inchy by following safe and healthy habits. Once they earn a token, they are able to go to Inchy and pick out a book to keep. This is highly motivating for students.

Our students really enjoy reading and The Princess in Black books are a great transition to chapter books.
