My Students

Our students love learning and get excited about new projects that include hands-on experiences. Our Title 1 school has an eclectic group of students (68% free and reduced lunch) who are college-bound and learning all they can to be successful in and out of the classroom.

We have an extremely supportive community that works hard to ensure our students are successful!

We are implementing technology utilizing computer carts that are shared between classes. Additionally, we've had access to community partnerships that have introduced various types of technology for our students to learn with.

My Project

The novel, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, will provide a cross-curricular learning experience. During our analysis of the literature, my students will discuss the perspective of the characters, literature elements, and mythology.

With this new literature study, my students will be able to have collaborative discussions, analyze others' perspectives, and conduct research writing.

This literature study will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. The best way to increase reading and writing abilities is for students to read and write more. This literature study will help my students grow stronger in their reading and writing abilities. This project will help enrich my students' experiences with the printed word.
