My Students
Each of my students comes with a unique set of baggage that may include academic deficiencies, social challenges, economic disadvantages, language acquisition and emotional struggles, but they do not let that define who they are. Every day, they amaze me with their determination and perseverance. They are eager to learn and ready to tackle the world.
Our classroom culture is built around embracing these unique experiences.
We learn acceptance through character building, collaboration, learning to trust others, and compassion as part of our daily work.
My Project
In our Reader's Workshop, students are expected to read independently for 10-15 minutes each day. Having access to on-level books that are both engaging and informative is necessary for their success.
My dream is to have a variety of books that my first graders can choose from that would help encourage them to read independently.
My goal as a teacher is to foster a love of reading in my students, and I can do that by offering them an assortment of reading options. Developing a love of reading will help my students on their path to success.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
