My first-grade students love to learn! Every morning they walk into our classroom with a big smile. They love to read, to be read to, play math games, work on coding, and write stories. They are curious and inquisitive children, and they challenge me every day to grow with them and be the best I can be.
We work hard to create a classroom community where students can explore, wonder, and discover the world around them.
We ask questions, share our ideas, expand our learning environment using technology, and publish our work to share with the world. They work and collaborate with one another to learn.
Our school also focuses on character building. Children's kindness and compassion are recognized and celebrated. We are proud to be a part of an amazing school. We are a family. We learn, play, laugh, and grow together!
My Project
My students have grown so much as readers this year. I am so proud to see them all wanting to read books on their own. Nothing makes me happier to see my students enjoying stories and talking about the books with their friends.
I need help expanding my classroom library.
Scholastic has a great selection of books that are colorful and engaging to young readers. I know that the students will fall in love with the book characters such as a fairy, unicorn, silly frog, ninja and dragon! I can't wait to see and hear all the excitement in my classroom!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
