My Students

My students value a focused and intentional instructional day where they can and will learn. We begin each day with "I can and I will!" In order to support my students' desires to do well and their instructional needs, I incorporate hands-on, engaging activities.

My second grade class is only one of three, and many of my 16 students are children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of alumni.

My students come from very diverse backgrounds. They face hardships on a daily basis, but they don't let that get in the way of learning. They come to school with a growth mindset and the willingness to take on any challenge. They perform better when their work is valued and appreciated. I work to provide this by providing a safe classroom environment where students can interact with people they trust and feel valued.

My daily instruction is differentiated to meet my students' needs and increase student engagement. I strive to help my students meet the goals I have developed for them as well as the goals they have developed for themselves. We are building a classroom of lifelong learners.

My Project

We are asking for a subscription of a class set of Scholastic News magazines for our classroom to teach informational text and supplement our science and social studies curriculum. Scholastic is great at aligning their magazines with holidays and important topics. It heavily supports ELA instruction for informational text but also aligns with grade-level science and social studies standards.

The magazines would be used with students during whole group science and social studies instruction but a heavy emphasis would be placed on text features and comprehension of informational text.

Then correlated activities would be used for reading stations and blended learning activities to maximize the usefulness of the additional resources provided by the teacher's guide. In the past, my students have benefited greatly with the addition of Scholastic News magazines in our classroom due to the versatility and cross-curricular alignment.
