My students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. I ask them, "Who are the best students in the whole world?" and they reply, "We are!" I want them to know I believe in them and they can do anything.
I teach at a Title I school in North California where 95 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.
When it comes to teaching and learning, I am a strong believer in implementing active/cooperative learning in a very lively and interactive environment.
My Project
"Read left and read right and read low and read high. Oh! The things you can read up if only you try!" For students to reach their ultimate potential in any class reading is always a huge part.
My biggest goal is to make children fall in love with reading process and experience themselves in writing and illustrating their own stories, but I cannot do that without growing personally myself.
These books will help me learn more about the way students learn, play and grow and help me to transport our classes to different places and open their minds to what else is out there. I love to read them some classics or we watch a classic movie and then together we will write a story that connects to what we learned. I want my students to be excited about learning process and see that they can do much more then they ever thought they can! Every child is talented they only need someone to show that to them and believe in them!
