My Students
My students are incoming 2nd grade students in Maryland. I am a 1st year teacher and have yet to meet my students. But I am sure they will be enthusiastic and excited to learn! I hope to engage my students in order to help them be successful learners.
Based on my experience during student teaching in 2nd grade, I learned that students are eager to learn when they are presented with activities and books that spark their interest!
They are excited to learn and work hard!
My Project
As a first year teacher, I want to ensure that my 2nd grade students have a library full of books that make them excited to read. I hope that they fall in love with reading and have the opportunity to enjoy different kinds of books that they may not have access to at home. I would like to give my students access to a variety of books, as well as books that are multicultural.
I would love for my students to see themselves in our classroom library.
I want my students to be represented in our classroom library and also read books that spark their old and some new interests!
