My Students

My class is a 3rd grade class at a Title I school in a low-income neighborhood. Many of the students in my class read several levels under what is appropriate for their grade. Where they are provided interventions during teacher led centers, I want to ensure they are maximizing time on task when not in front of me during virtual learning. These kiddos are eager to learn, and I want to make sure they have all the resources necessary.

We are so very excited to start our year together on the right foot!

My Project

This school year my students are returning face to face full time! One of the things I missed most about having kiddos in the classroom is being able to instill in them a love of reading. The comfy saucer chairs will give students a place to relax and do some leisure reading either independently or with a buddy! The large Avengers rug will give the students a place to sit together and enjoy read alouds, while staying on theme with our SUPER classroom! I am so excited to have my students back in the room this fall!
