My Students

As a first year teacher and the year vastly approaching, I wonder who my students will be and pray that I have the ability to make the difference that they need in their lives. I have no doubt that my students will be creative, thoughtful, and full of questions!

We will be a classroom that cultivates kindness, support, and creativity.

My wish is that they are able to come into my classroom each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically.

My Project

I hope to inspire my students to expand their knowledge, increase their vocabulary, and hopefully become life-long readers by simply picking up a book within our classroom library. As a new teacher, resources are slim, but our students are still our number one priority. My students come from a low-income neighborhood, where reading may not be fostered within their household. My goal is to have a classroom library that inspires my students to find magic between then pages of a simple book.

My hopes are that my classroom library will be a place that my students can really enjoy—I will read on the carpet to them daily, allow them to complete work there, choose books to read independently, and take pride in displaying each completed book!

By being granted new books, my students will be taught responsibility as they will treat the library with love and care, the books with complete respect, and show gratitude for the opportunity and ability to be able to read and be read to.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books, at multiple levels, with the same purpose...creating life-long readers!
