My Students

My kids are absolutely amazing in every way. Our class is complete with 25 enthusiastic, curious and animated first graders from a range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Our class is an integrated co-teaching (ICT) classroom meaning that a portion of our students have special needs. Our needs range from speech and language disorders to autism and none of the labels stop any of the students from trying their hardest and always exceeding expectations. These 25 students are dedicated and excelling in the classroom is the norm!

Our class of students is a unique, clever, determined and persistent bunch with a range of interests and needs--making each and every lesson new and exciting!

My co-teacher and I take a very hands-on approach to education which allows students to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.

My Project

My class is made complete with 25 wonderful, wiggly and hard-working first graders who always come to school with their best foot forward. My co-teacher and I would love to take their interest in books and reading to the next level. 3/4 of our class are on the same reading level, making it difficult to provide all of the books that they deserve on their appropriate level. Having these books would mean having book baggies full of new, intriguing and likable books.

We have a need for high-interest leveled books that will keep our students engaged and excited.

Our students have independent reading time on a daily basis, therefore they go through a lot of books. We would like for them to always have books that they are interested in and to never feel like they do not know what to read next. Help us grow our library so that our students can continue growing their minds!
