My Project

My goal is to create a vibrant school community of readers who are passionate about books and eager to collaborate and share ideas. By integrating books, vertical tabletop whiteboards, and journals into our literacy learning lab, we can enhance our students' learning experiences.

Books serve as the foundation, offering diverse genres and topics to captivate and inspire, while building comprehension and expanding vocabulary.

Vertical tabletop whiteboards will transform engagement, allowing students to brainstorm, map out ideas, and visualize their thinking processes. This collaborative space will encourage discussions and deepen understanding of the material.

Journals will provide a personal space for students to reflect on their reading, jot down new vocabulary, and track progress. They will be encouraged to write about their thoughts, questions, and insights, fostering critical thinking and self-expression.

These students are special because each brings unique backgrounds and ideas, enriching conversations and deepening collective understanding of texts. By fostering an inclusive environment, I aim to celebrate and leverage these differences for a comprehensive learning experience. Together, we can cultivate a community of readers who excel academically and appreciate diverse viewpoints and collaborative learning. Your support will make a lasting impact on my students' educational journey, helping them become confident, thoughtful readers and communicators.
