My Students

My students love learning in different ways. My classroom is full of eager learners who have many different learning styles. I have many students who are English language learners. Many of my students are visual and tactile learners. My students love learning new things and creating things to show what they learned. They like to share what they have learned with other classes in our school. Science and social studies are the subjects that my students love the most.

My students also love using technology to increase their learning and to share what they learned.

My students continue to amaze me every day with their knowledge and love for learning.

My Project

Have you ever started to read a book and couldn't finish it because it was too hard? For some of my students, that is the case when they go look in our classroom library. We have lots of higher level books but my students get very frustrated when they read books that are too hard for them.

I am requesting books that are on my students reading level so that they can use those books to help them increase their reading levels.

Books that are just right for my students are so important for their reading skills. If the books are too hard or too easy, my students' reading skills won't increase. Finding the "just right" book is so important to help my students become the best readers that they can be.
