My Students

My class consists of 22 of the most remarkable students I have ever known! Students in my class come from a variety of economic backgrounds. Over 86% of our school receives free or reduced-price lunch.

My students come to school eager to learn and ready to show the world that they are the BEST!

They are creative, compassionate, and fearless. "Can't" is not a word in their vocabulary. They push themselves and each other to rise above whatever obstacle is in front of them. They love all subject areas and are always up for a challenge. I plan to deepen their love for learning by making learning fun! When provided with essential tools for learning, my students will flourish.

My Project

My students love to get lost in a great book! As research shows, it is so important to promote reading from a young age. Many of my students are ready to start reading chapter books. However, in our classroom, we lack a variety of books for them to choose from. Research also shows that students are more likely to enjoy reading when they are interested in the book.

Please help me to continue to build my students' love for reading by providing them with a larger selection of books to choose from.

The joy that they are filled with when they are lost in a great book is indescribable!
