My Students

I teach an energetic group of third graders who love to learn. Some of my students learn differently, and I want to provide resources that will allow flexibility during the school day.

Currently, in my classroom, I have a diverse group of kids.

From students significantly below grade level, students at grade level, students above grade level, I am also blessed to teach students who are hard of hearing. Having the opportunity to teach such a variety of children is an absolute pleasure. Providing new resources for a successful education is exciting for me as their teacher.

My Project

Reading to self and reading to others is such an important part of our grade level curriculum. As of right now, I do not have an area in my classroom devoted to student reading. My goal is to add an area in my classroom throughout the upcoming school year.

During various times of the day, students will be given the opportunity to go to an area of the classroom which they find successful while reading.

By providing an area within the classroom that students feel relaxed and able to read for an extended period of time is very important to me.
