My Students

"Get ready to learn!" is what I always tell my students every day as a reminder of what they are here for. I start the day with song and dance and have my students pumped up and excited about the day ahead in Mrs. B.'s reading class. I strongly believe in motivation and engagement.

In order to succeed, my students need all the support, as their families experience even worse financial hardship than before.

My school has a high number of students who are English Language Learners, and there are a few who are part of the special education and gifted program.

Because of language barriers, not all share the love for reading and writing in English, but I would say that the more they practice, the lesser the challenge-once they are motivated and engaged in the process.

My Project

Last school year, I moved to another school where I am the reading coach. Our reading classrooms are in dire need of new online enhancement programs to enrich our reading curriculum. With vocabulary programs like Flocabulary, our students can not only improve their literacy skills- but also open the doors of their imagination.

In previous years, as a fifth-grade reading teacher, I was fortunate to furnish our classroom with new literature, but some students still struggled with vocabulary and fluency skills.

Now, I need to furnish my new classrooms to fill the needs of my students and nourish their desire to read. I decided to request an effective vocabulary program that they can access online, whether they are in the library, at home, in school, or on a cell phone.

Multiple studies have shown that imagining stories helps activate the regions of your brain responsible for better understanding others and seeing the world from a new perspective.

Your support for this library project will enhance the learning environment for our English Language Learners, as well as the gifted and SPED students.
