My Students

Our classroom is an beautiful place where amazing things happen everyday. Students come into this classroom from every walk of life imaginable. Upon walking into the classroom, you will see a diverse group of students who share the same love for school and friendship.

While all the students are so amazingly different, they all share a strong desire for learning and success.

These children strive for greatness every day, regardless of where they come from. Some children come from a family living in poverty and some from a country they moved from only days ago. No matter what, they are strong and resilient children who work hard every day to do well and learn to the best of their ability.

My Project

Our class is filled with eager learners who are so excited to become life long readers! To do this work, we need lots of different books with different themes and lessons to spark conversations and build comprehension skills.

One huge way to achieve our reading goals is by having a classroom library with plenty of read alouds that cover different subjects and themes.

The more books that we have in our classroom, the more comprehension skills we can build that will help enhance our love for reading and learning. With your help, we will become experts on different topics, build our ideas, and continue to grow our amazement with the messages that our favorite books give us!
