My Students

I love teaching. My students are all wonderful and amazing individuals. They each bring a different challenge with them each day, from tough home lives to not knowing if they will be going home to an empty apartment after school to being academically higher than their grade. I love the chance to engage and connect with my students each day. I am always excited to see one of them every day, either online or in the classroom.

My goal as a teacher is to support them in their journey through life as they look to reach their goals.

They all come from diverse backgrounds and varied home lives. Some are brand new to the United States and some still feel new. Students at our school come from homes that speak a combined total of 23 different languages, and we are a district of 78 different languages spoken at home. These students also come from low-income households, and the school can sometimes be the only consistent thing in their life. A simple high-five and "glad to see you" each day brings smiles to each of them.

My Project

My students are very excited about reading graphic novels this year. After a year of not much reading due to Covid, students are back in the classroom and all begging for more "cool" books to read.

With these new books, it will continue to excite my students and encourage their growth in reading.

Graphic novels are a good bridge for students that are still working on reading as well as students that are below and above.

I can't wait for my students to have read books in their hands and not just a digital version on the computer.
