My Students
First grade is such a fundamental year for students! I teach 23 6&7-year-old students! They are such excited learners! We have such a diverse class of learners! We have students working on reading A-level books to students reading M leveled books. We strive to keep them interested and goal-oriented no matter where they are at in their learning.
Our favorite saying in our class is, "It's okay to not know, but it is not okay to not try." Students love to celebrate with each other on all their accomplishments and encourage each other on the way to their goals.
My Project
These books will help me build a diverse library! In first grade, students learn so so much through read-aloud books. I would love to be able to teach about kindness, empathy, strong women, persistence, scientist, and diversity through these books.
We use read-alouds for reader's response as well as great classroom conversation starters.
Read-aloud books are fantastic for diverse learning. Students love to see characters that look like them and that they can relate to in real life. I want to give my students those types of books.
More than half of 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
