My Students

My elementary school serves first through third graders. A huge passion of mine has always been around classroom climate.

I train and expect my students to be independent, hard-working and cooperative learners focused on setting and reaching their own individual goals.

I offer a variety of seating options including ergonomic stools, exercise balls, stools, tall stools, traditional chairs and cushioned benches to sit on everyday.

I opt to not use overhead fluorescent lighting. Instead I have provided over thirty lamps throughout the classroom to foster a more relaxing environment for learning.

We listen to instrumental music during our independent work times in the background.

My students know they are safe, loved and valued. We are family.

My Project

Books can open the world for a child. I love teaching 3rd graders...and my favorite subject to teach is reading.

Through intentional selection of books, I can provide supplemental instruction for my students in social studies and science.

Small group reading instruction time allows me the opportunity to work with students at their individual reading levels. Offering students genre choices in areas such as biography, fantasy, realistic fiction or nonfiction allows for more engaged, dynamic and informed readers.

Being able to compliment subject areas that I am already teaching with specifically selected books for small group instruction creates student engagement, interest and passion for learning. I want to take my students one step further than what is expected. To focus on their interests while still meeting their needs and grade level expectations.

To quote the great Dr. Seuss, "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go".
