My Students

My third-grade students are curious learners with big hearts. They have overcome many hardships, losses and trauma, yet they come to school with smiles on their faces every day. The challenges they faced during the pandemic and distance learning affected their abilities to perform and learn to their best ability. However, they persevered with grit and grace.

We are lucky enough to live and learn in one of the most beautiful places on Earth!

Our students appreciate the beauty of this land and want to learn all they can about how to preserve, protect and respect it. The best way to accomplish that is through providing the best education possible.

Their eagerness to learn and love is infectious and inspirational!

My Project

Our school uses the workshop model to teach reading. Students read a lot all the time. They choose high-interest books at their reading level. They talk about books with their peers, teachers and families. They learn about their world and themselves through rich texts and engaging stories.

Our students need a wide variety of quality books on different topics at different reading levels.

We are a tiny school with a very limited budget, so our book selection is limited. With these books added to our classroom library, students will be able to choose books which captivate their interest, teach them valuable lessons, and improve their reading skills. Our students will greatly benefit from these materials!
