Throw Me that QBall!

My Students

I teach 4th grade reading in Alabaster, Alabama. My students come from various backgrounds and living situations, but share the common characteristic of a love of learning.

I teach 3 classes of reading a day, and work with children on various reading levels and from varied backgrounds.

Accommodating all children and teaching them where they are, while striving to make gains is my top priority.

I love incorporating technology into reading and language. This allows students to read about things that interest them, while keeping them accountable.

My Project

I want to increase student engagement for all students. I have students who are reluctant to participate in class and I believe having a microphone that they can throw and catch will do this.

The Qball will be a fun and engaging way to discuss books and create a sense of community in our classroom!

I want all students to feel they have a voice in our room. When students do not volunteer to participate in class they do not feel a sense of ownership or pride in the class. Having a fun way to promote participation will encourage students to be a part of the class.
