My Students

All of my students love to learn! My school is a Title I school where 100% of the students receive free breakfast and lunch every day. We live in a rural community with a diverse student population.

My students enjoy coming to school every day and are always very eager to learn.

My students love to learn by using a variety of materials. My projects are all for things that will make my students' education better and instill a love of learning.

My Project

My students are excited to read and explore all kinds of books. Through my lessons, I provide students with the skills and strategies to decode and comprehend books. Many of my students need strong literacy instruction. I want to them with a large classroom library that will help give them the resources to practice their literacy skills in school and at home!

I want my students to love to read!

My wishlist is full of great books I would love to be able to add to my classroom library for my students! These stories are both new and classic stories that are wonderful for this age group. The more wonderful books like these I can include in my classroom for my students, the better! Having a wide variety of fun books helps to inspire students to love reading and learning. I hope that by providing books of various levels and topics, all of my students can enjoy reading time in my classroom and carry that love into their everyday lives as well!
