My Students

This year my class is a group of high ability fourth graders that I have the pleasure of looping with about half of them from third grade. Located in Muncie, Indiana, our students come from varying socioeconomic and personal backgrounds with nearly sixty percent on reduced price or free lunch. Our school is diverse, as it includes gifted enriched learning, special education and ABA rooms, preschool, and general education programs. Students from outside of our district can travel to our school to be involved in these special education and gifted programs throughout the year.

My students are striving to find their voices and personalities in the world.

I want to support them on that journey in all ways possible including academic, athletic, and social maturity.

Our school provides gifted art and music classes, as well as enrichment success periods throughout the day. There are various clubs and organizations for students to take part in and a phenomenal staff who support each other.

My Project

I love reading aloud to my students! These picture books will give our class a springboard for conversations during our class meetings about topics including bullies, belonging, tattling, and more. They will help us to create a community where everyone has a voice and feels that he or she is an important part of our class. We will also be able to discuss literary themes such as change, character development and motivation, and setting to meet academic standards.

Reading picture books are both enjoyable and educational for teachers and students alike!

My students love seeing me pull out a picture book and call them to the carpet to read. I think it's one of their favorite parts to the day. It's my sneaky way to not only get academic learning in but also to help build character in the next generation.
