My Students

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it’s stupid.” -Albert Einstein

I want my classroom to be a space where all students have a chance to succeed.

In order to create this environment, I must be aware of the many differences that affect student learning. I believe that each and every one of my students are unique. No two students I encounter will be exactly the same. Things such as culture, language, ability, and environment can all lead to learning differences. Diverse students bring diverse thinking and learning styles. It would be ignorant for a teacher to believe that a class full of twenty-five different students is all going to learn the same. (And, in my opinion, a class full of twenty-five students who learn the same should be a teacher’s worst nightmare!) If I believe that each and every one of my students has something to teach me, then I should view learner diversity as a blessing- twenty-five unique students means twenty-five unique lessons! I feel confident that each student who walks into my classroom has the potential to pass.

My Project

These guided reading books are important for my students. These books will help my students become better readers as a lot of my students are reading below grade level, are English Language Learners, and students with disabilities. Guided reading helps students to develop strategies to improve their reading and helps them to become independent readers while at the same time providing help and support from the teacher if needed. Guided reading also provides an opportunity for students to engage in dialogue analysis; they have an opportunity to discuss a text with others, communicating their own ideas and learning from the knowledge and ideas of other students in the group.

These books will also continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create.

My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy-I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
