My Students

Nestled in the heart of Memphis, my students are some of the most inquisitive, curious, and creative 6-8-year-olds you will ever meet. My students work very hard and like to have fun!

I teach at a Title I school where 95% of my students receive breakfast and lunch as part of the free and reduced-price meal program.

Although many of them face adverse experiences in their home lives, my students come to school each day with energy and excitement for learning and for each other. They love solving problems, creating new games, and designing experiments to test their questions about the world. My classroom is purposefully structured to meet the unique academic, social-emotional, and developmental needs of each child on an individual level. Students are constantly engaged in various modes of learning and making meaning of their world.

My Project

I want my children to see that entertainment is not just in the form of television or a gaming system. I want them to submerge themselves in various wonderful books. All of these books have been picked to best help my students with word recognition and comprehension. These books will help students better understand our weekly literacy themes and contribute to some very thoughtful discussions! They can be checked out of our classroom library to take home to continue the learning adventure.

These books will also help foster a love of reading within our classroom!

It is my goal with these books to not only help students foster an understanding of literacy but to also help foster a love of reading and learning that will last them through their life. There is nothing better than to see a love of reading in learning in a young person.
