My Students

I teach Academic Intervention Services to students in grades K-5. I encourage my students to know that they are readers.

“Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.” -Margaret Fuller.

Our rural elementary school in upstate New York has a student population of 350 students. Our students are at risk of failing the New York State Assessments and students who are having difficulty academically are recommended to receive Academic Intervention Services. That's where my room comes into play.

My students are hardworking and imaginative, young learners. They strive every day to improve all areas of their literacy deficiencies. My students are all very eager to learn and love coming to school. They are independent, hardworking, and compassionate.

My Project

My students who come to AIS need extra help in developing their word knowledge. All students are given a sight word ring to practice daily in school and at home! The labels will be used to type the sight words and place on the hole punched card. The cards then go on the rings to keep in the reading bag! Students may start off with a full ring, but as they practice and develop their sight word knowledge, they get so excited to put the words they know and have memorized into a "know it" bin! Please help my students by funding their sight word rings for them to use all year! Thank you!
