My Students

Every student in my classroom deserves only the best every day in school. The boys and girls come to fourth grade every day full of energy and curiosity. They are ambitious, smart, and committed.

Our neighborhood school is 60 years old but it is young at heart!

Inside its brick walls kids happily research and write, confer and collaborate. These are urban students who walk to school from a changing and growing community. Our kids reflect their own diverse world.

My Project

Do you remember reading favorite books over and over again when you were a child? My students love our popular classroom books to tatters, especially their favorite series and graphic novels.

No matter what their reading level is, most fourth graders love to read books about school and other kids, and most kids love graphic novels.

I would like to put engaging books into my students' hands so that they will continue to enjoy reading and find books that fit their abilities. These fun and funny books will be popular with nearly every one of my students and will support them as they develop their literary interests.
