My Students

Our class is full of bright 5th and 6th grade students who love to challenge themselves and learn. I teach three sections of Language Arts, and strive for an engaging, inclusive, and supportive learning environment.

My classroom is composed of a wide range of learning abilities.

I plan with differentiation in mind. I want my students to feel comfortable, save, and accepted when they walk through the doors of our classroom.

My Project

Teaching a love for reading is something I enjoy doing everyday. Adding these high interest books to our class with some containers for easy storage will rejuvenate our classroom library.

These new books will add some diversity and dimension to the characters we know and love in our class.

When students read books about people different from them, they can better relate, understand, and empathize with others.

My class gets so excited when we get new books in our class library. Our waitlist for a new book is usually 6 students long. My hope is to constantly have high interest books in the hands of my students.
