My Students

My hometown is a small, rural town in Northwest Florida. We are an area where everyone knows and supports each other. I teach fifty-five, fourth and fifth grade students of different learning abilities.

Our area was devastated by Hurricane Michael and many of my students had their property damaged or lost their homes and this natural disaster changed us forever!

I would love to fill my classroom with engaging opportunities that will promote their educational and social development. I love being a teacher!

My Project

The Who Would Win book series are fun and engaging nonfiction books that my students love!

According to research, reading nonfiction helps develop student's background knowledge which accounts for as much as 33% of variance in student achievement.

These books will give my students opportunities to build their background knowledge. They also offer great information that is useful for writing opinion essays. Writing is a task that many of my students struggle with. These books will offer them an opportunity to practice writing an opinion essay with information that is interesting to them.
