Every time I enter my classroom, I feel like an artist preparing art pieces for an art gallery. Like all art pieces, each student in my classroom is a masterpiece. Each student is unique, each student is eager to become better and each student wants to shine bright when they go out into the world.
The students in my class never cease to amaze me.
They come from very diverse backgrounds. Some come from broken homes and others come from homes where English is a second language. Some are working on speech, and some strive to become healthy mentally, but most importantly they all strive to become better learners. Their love for learning and their desire to become better creates a wonderful learning environment. Being in their presence is an inspiring and heartwarming opportunity.
My Project
My first grade students are really beginning to grasp the concept of reading. They have gone from reading small books with words such as "See the dog run." To reading chapter books with all sorts of word patterns. It is an incredible and rewarding accomplishment for them!
I love teaching children how to read, but most importantly I love teaching children how to LOVE reading!
I hope to do that by providing a variety of books for the children to read in our classroom library. I will also feature books that align with our curriculum and I will display them in the classroom library on a durable and safe book shelf. The book shelf will allow easy access to books and the students will be more likely to pick a book that will enhance their learning and help their love of reading grow.
