My Students

My students are excited learners who love to read and try new technology in our Library Media Center. I have the pleasure of seeing every classroom of students K-5 twice a week. I love seeing my 5th graders enthusiastically stopping me in the hall to tell me they already finished their book and they want to swap it out. I love the hugs I get when I see my Kinders and their belly laughs when we have a silly read aloud. I am constantly amazed at the clever ideas they come up with when they build with Keva planks or code on Scratch.

Despite outside circumstances that challenge my students daily, they arrive to school motivated, positive and excited to learn.

Our school community is an incredibly diverse and welcoming one. I love providing them with engaging literacy and technology experiences to enhance their learning and challenge their thinking! I love what I do and the children I share my days with!

My Project

Last summer when my graphic novels were safely stored away, some flooding occurred which damaged 90% of the graphic novel selection available to my students. It was heartbreaking! Throughout this school year I have desperately tried to replenish all the titles, but it has been a slow process.

Graphic novels are popular among all grade levels and reading skill levels-more of this genre available allows a greater number of students to access these books and boost their reading abilities!

I always try to help classroom teachers keep students reading as much as possible because the more they read, the better!
