My Students

My students are 5th graders located in the beautiful, capital city of Charleston, WV. They are eager learners and have hearts of gold. A large majority of the students come from low socioeconomic homes, but that doesn't keep them from being engaged in the classroom.

I feel that the more engaged in learning they are, the more they will enjoy it, and the more they will retain.

These students love cooperative learning and completing projects. They work hard and are always willing to put forth 100% effort. Instilling a strong foundation in education can make a big difference in their successful futures.

My Project

My students love reading novels. Especially if it means they get to follow along with me. These books are books that we currently read aloud to the class. They are falling apart and we do not have enough for everyone!

I would love to engage my students and turn them into life-long readers by introducing them to books they are interested in.

These stories are used in language arts. However, two of them are also used in science when we introduce natural disasters. I love introducing topics to my students in multiple ways and in more than one subject in order to really help them understand.
