My Students

My classroom is full of amazing, talented, and motivated learners. Each child is unique and works hard towards personal goals. In my classroom we use our growth mindset to help us grow as learners.

All 22 of my students have different needs, strengths, and weaknesses.

They are readers, writers, mathematicians, historians, and scientists. They are creative, kind, and community workers.

In my classroom we have created a community. We work together to solve problems. Together we celebrate the highs, and help each other get through the lows.

My Project

I am moving into a new classroom that doesn't have a built in bookshelf. With no bookshelves in the room, students will have a hard time browsing for books. The chaos could cause extra disruptions and distractions during reading independent reading time. I would also loose counter/shelf space which could be an alternative working area for my students.

In my classroom, there is a large focus on students getting the chance to choose their own book during reader's workshop.

With the new bookshelves, students will have an easier time choosing the books they are most interested in. The bookshelves will allow me to better organize my classroom library.
