My Project

In addition to teaching a general education class of third-grade students, I also teach a section of gifted students in third grade. I serve as the resource teacher for all gifted third-grade students in reading and math.

This particular group of students love to discuss the how's and why's of stories.

Jacob's Ladder reading comprehension stories and questions will provide my students with interesting reads and many levels of questions to discuss and write about in class. Questions range from basic sequencing to making implications based on what they are reading.
