My Students

By the end of the school year, I want my students to be fluent readers and critical thinkers. As we progress towards these goals, we have to increase our comprehension levels.

My students live in a low economic community and attend a Title I school.

They are an amazing group of boys and girls. My students are energetic, inquisitive and eager to learn and explore everyday. They embrace the challenges that they are faced with resilience and fortitude.

My Project

Reading is an essential part of our day. It is through reading that my students are captivated by the world around them. With the Small Group Nonfiction Comprehension folders for 3rd through 6th grade, I will be able to differentiate my instruction in centers. In addition, I will be able to enhance my research center with the Research and Respond Comprehension Center. My literacy centers will be more effective with the materials that I am requesting. These centers will aid in increasing my students' comprehension levels.

Reading is the gateway skill to all learning.

Increasing my students' comprehension levels will positively affect them in every content area. My classroom will be equipped with nonfiction texts that will my interest my students and impact their learning.
