My Students

I have an amazing group of students I work with to improve their reading skills. The students I work on reading with range from kindergarten to fifth grade. I teach at an inner-city public school.

I teach at a public Montessori school.

It is a unique learning opportunity for all of our students. All of the classes at our school are multi-age. The students really enjoy working with students of all ages.

My Project

My students are working hard at improving their reading skills. All the students that I work with will be given the opportunity to work on their reading skills and the younger students will be learning how to read. The hands on materials will help motivate the students to improve their reading skills because they really respond to kinesthetic learning.

The hands on reading materials will help our students to improve their reading skills and learn to love reading.

The students eyes light up whenever they work with hands on materials.
