My Students

This year, I have a wide range of students. Most of my students are Native American. Some are eager to learn, and others will need that extra push to succeed. The children seem to work really well together and encourage each other.

I believe that all students can and will learn.

They just need to be nurtured and encouraged to succeed. Some just need to know that they are loved and can achieve their goals as long as they don't quit and never give up.

My Project

I have selected a variety of books to help my students learn about outer space. They will be learning about the phases of the moon, planets and the constellations. I am hoping these books get my students interested in learning more about outer space. Hopefully, they will look up more often at night and try to identify the constellations.

Learning about outer space is fun and exciting.

My students will become familiar with the phases of the moon, planets and star constellations. I am hoping that on a clear night in Oklahoma, my students will tell their parents about what they have learned.
