My Project

What I love about my students is that they like to read. Most of them don't get to read books that are very enjoyable. Having Esperanza Rising and How to Eat Fried Worms will help to keep them engaged and wanting to keep reading. By starting the summer class with our very first novel, it will help to prepare them for 5th grade and what is going to expected of them.

The expo pens and erasers will help them with their vertical boards while working in groups.

While reading, students will be helping each other to understand the text by writing down their thoughts/ ideas and the summary of the chapters. These pens will allow each student to have a pen in case their pen gets lost somehow.

My students are special because each one is very unique and brings lots of joy to our classroom. Each one is willing to learn new things and share their own ideas with each other.
