My Students

My fourth grade classroom is made up of thirty unique students who love to use hands-on activities to learn. My students walk into our classroom every day full of life and ready to learn. I try my best to find new ways to help keep them engaged in learning and moving forward.

I teach at a Title I school in Kentucky where one hundred percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Many of our students receive backpack food on the weekend. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can, so they can be successful one day. I may not be able to control their home lives; however, I can certainly control their experiences during the school day.

My Project

These books will enhance our classroom library and provide opportunities for students to read quality and engaging literature. I am a huge fan of the Newberry Award books. I believe that they have depth, complexity, and quality that many of the more trendy books do not have. I like to recommend these books to my students for individual reading and read some aloud to them.

The science books will engage our students with interesting topics related to what we are learning in class.

Science is of particular emphasis in 4th grade. I am excited about the books in the set on this project.

I am looking forward to having these resources to share with my students!
