My Students

There is never a boring moment in the classroom! Chants can be heard throughout the hallway. We start off our day by listening to this song "A Good Day" and I always tell my students that we can get through anything together. I want my students to be able comprehend and love reading!

My students are bright individuals that know if you work hard then rewards come in the end.

My students are happy individuals that come from many different backgrounds and are ready for a challenge each day. My students know that there is no obstacle that they can not conquer. The words I can't or this is too hard is not allowed in the classroom. I let my students know that they are champs and can't or too hard cannot defeat them.

My Project

My students love hands-on and visual activities. My students will use the comprehension sets to enhance their reading and comprehension skills. The spin game can be used to enhance many skills of reading at once. The Hot Dot sets can be used for small groups or centers. The students will be able to use the Eggsperts to answer reading comprehension questions during centers or whole group. I believe this will allow students to be more engaged and eager to read and answer comprehension questions.

This will change my students' lives for the better because the resources requested can enhance their reading and comprehension skills.

As we all know Reading scores are low and I would love to make a difference in allowing my students to have many different ways to grasp reading and comprehension skills.
