My Students

My students are amazing! They come from low income families and face challenges in and out of the classroom everyday. They are creative, bright, and so full of life. My students look forward to learning and coming to school everyday! Some have never been to school before starting Kindergarten. Some have been to preschool and Transitional Kindergarten. Everyone one of them comes to school excited for the day, with a positive attitude! My students really love to read and learn!!

My Project

Getting excited about reading starts in Kindergarten! The more I am able to help my students learn to read and become excited about what they are reading, the more they will love to read and learn! We have reading groups everyday during our Daily 5 time. Students rotate between me, Book Boxes, Word Work, Writing, and Listening to Reading. During my reading group and their book box group, students practice reading books at their independent and instructional level. I want the students to learn how to pick books of their interest, as well as at their level. We need books!
