My Project

I teach an amazing group of students in one of the most diverse schools in the country. Our population includes English language learners, newcomers, and refugees. My students love coming to school, and they love learning! As a teacher, I strive to bring a variety of books to my students. I would like to increase the number of books my students have to read. I have been working to get more books for my students.

My goal is to create lifelong learners!

Children who can read fluently will be more successful in school. The books that I have chosen will help my students with fluency and expression. I am also in need of letter stickers to use along with magnetic letters. We will present the kindergarten graduation medals to our kindergarten buddy class on the last day of school. Thank you for your support!
