My Students

Our school corporation is a rural district, trying to equip our students with the skills and experiences to be successful in our ever-changing world. I have the privilege to teach first grade, in our small rural district.

My first grade students are excited about the world around them.

As their teacher, it is my goal to create opportunities to make them curious about the world around them. My goal is to empower them to ask questions and find answers. My students are world changers.

My Project

I am requesting stories that help my students learn important lessons from engaging characters and challenges. The theme of books like Mistakes that Worked, Ish, Thanks for the Feedback, and The Thing Lou Couldn't Do help students realize that your brain is a muscle that can grow. The growth mindset movement empowers children to be the best versions of themselves.

My students are capable of so many amazing things!

I believe in them and I want them to believe in the incredible power of yet! They can set goals and achieve them!

I plan on reading these titles during our shared reading time. Students will then use Seesaw to upload text-to-self and text-to-world connections. We can also use Shadow Puppet EDU to reread meaningful portions of each story.
