My Students

We are a group of unique individuals who love to learn and create in all different ways.

We are a group of diverse learners.

Many of our students score at or above standard, but we also we have twelve top fifteen percent of our students who are not performing at standard. Some students are second language learners and others have difficulty learning through traditional methods. These are students who have been identified with learning disabilities, which also includes students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD.

In our classroom, we love to read and we acquire knowledge and skills best through learning together and sharing ideas. We work on communication through collaborative learning and sharing ideas in a small group setting. I love that my students are all unique individuals who bring varying ideas and enjoy working together, sorting out and building on each others ideas. Most importantly, they bring a love of learning to school everyday!

My Project

At Sycamore Elementary, we pride ourselves on being a collaborative learning community. Through utilizing a rolling cart with some new exciting new titles, our fifth grade students will be able to share their love of books across our classrooms.

Every year, we feature a reading unit focused on fantasy books.

Every student selects a book they want to read and a group is created for each of the titles in our collection. Additional books will allow us to expand and update our fantasy book clubs, as well as generate excitement and collaboration by adding new titles. This amazing gift is also a moving library, being shared among the entire grade level with the rolling cart, giving all the students access to the same experiences by Rolling With Books!
