My Students

"Hey! She's like me!" These words were exclaimed by a student in my class last year as she listened to a story about a blended family. Bright, inquisitive, and curious would-be some adjectives to describe the children I work with. They are talented students working hard everyday to succeed. The majority of students in my school come from minority backgrounds and many are English language learners.

All-day long, we explore books, numbers, and ideas.

It is my job as a teacher to facilitate the exploration of new ideas, topics my students care about, and what it means to be a citizen of the world.

The students in my class are an increasingly diverse group of children who have a wide range of needs and experiences. My school is a Title I school and serves students PreK through fourth grade. My goal is for my students to love reading, and make improvements in reading each day. Linking literacy and personal connections to books will help us achieve this goal! The students in my class and school receive free/reduced lunch, have special needs, and love to listen to stories!

My Project

By donating to this project you are offering my students the opportunity to expand their reading across nonfiction genres with many different books. My students love reading and are looking to add more nonfiction titles to our library.

Research shows that students who are in classrooms with well-stocked libraries read more!

It is my goal to build a high-quality library this year to engage my students in reading.

By adding these titles to our classroom library you are helping my students learn about important people and events in history. These engaging books will help to foster a love for reading and allow them to get lost in a good book.
