My Students

Teaching is my passion and I want my students to have that same passion for the career they choose. I spend a lot of time teaching the character traits and books for career education would make a great addition to my first grade program. The sky is the limit for these future leaders!

I work at a Title One school in California.

There are many languages spoken in my first grade classroom: French, Arabic, Russian and Spanish to name a few. My students are so amazing and inspire me every day, to be a better teacher. My school feeds every student breakfast in the classroom each morning. This ensures that all students start their day off the right way. Some of these kids face many challenges at home but they give 100% each day and are so excited about learning.

My Project

These career education books will be used in the classroom as read a louds and for students to read independently. My school is creating a character/career education program for all students. These books will go perfectly with our lesson to expose students to many career options.

This project will make a difference for my first graders because many students will be able to discover a passion for a job or career.

These books will inspire them to set goals for their future.
