A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My students are the greatest in the world. Yes, every teacher says that, but I truly mean it. Living in a low-income area, my students might deal with hardships at home, but come to school ready to learn and better themselves. They are hard-working and diligent in their work.
I love my students.
They create a happiness in me that makes me want to be a better teacher for them. Each one is unique in their own ways, and I enjoy every part of them.
I believe that all of my students will go above and beyond what is expected of them. They are always willing to step up to a challenging problem, work and give back to the community, and are always willing to learn.
My Project
Surprisingly, middle schoolers (ages 10-12) still love for their teachers to read picture books. As a math teacher, I don't always have time to cover a book in my class, but I usually have a bit of time at the beginning or end to fit in a picture book and the students ABSOLUTELY love it.
Picture books can open up so many thoughts, questions, and ideas for students to really think about.
Since a picture book is shorter, students can stay intrigued and can compare it to their everyday life easier. Picture books are full of diversity, empathy, compassion, and other characteristics of good examples for students to follow.
I want to make sure that I provide this time of discussion with my students as well as teaching them that books are beneficial for any subject. I have included some math picture books and some about feelings, diversity, and happiness!
