My Students

I teach 1st grade at a rural school located in North Dakota. Most students know everyone within the school and share a lot of the same interests. We connect the majority of our lessons to the shared experiences the students have.

My students are creative, full of questions, and very energetic.

They love hands-on projects and find ways to take things to the next level. Many of my students do not have the support or resources at home to continue their learning. I want to be able to supply the right tools in my classroom so that each student is able to apply their creative thinking to overcome different challenges.

My Project

These books would provide different grade level material that is in the student's interest. Reading is the key to success, I would love to instill a love or reading with each student by having books that are of interest to them.

Reading boosts your mood and improves memory and focus.

If my students are able to chose books that they are interested they will grow to love reading and the benefits will be unlimited. Reading is a good way to relax and lower stress. It also helps with creativity, empathy, and writing. I would love to see each student succeed through books.
