My Students

My students come from all different backgrounds. I have 28 bright individuals who thrive in a creative, elaborate, and diverse classroom. Most of my students speak a second language other than English. The languages that are represented in my class are Spanish, Russian, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, Thai, Mongolian and Vietnamese. We celebrate everyone's culture in my class, and my students love to share their traditions with everyone.

We all come from different backgrounds, but in our virtual classroom, we are one community.

My class is a sweet bunch that includes and welcomes anyone who comes into the classroom. I love their enthusiasm to learn every day!

My Project

I want to incorporate new and relevant books into the classroom. Giving the circumstances that our world is presenting us, it's hard to children to grasp what is going on. Some of these books will teach my students life lessons to live by.

With these books and resources, I hope to shape my class into positive leaders who are willing to make change.

These books will hopefully inspire them to be more positive and want to create change. These books will also help us understand how to be more empathetic and understanding toward one another.
