My Students

My students are primarily at risk and face many challenges in school and at home. I teach first grade and most of my students do not have homes that are filled with good literature. I feel that stories come alive with costumes and props. So...Hollywood watch out!!

My students live in a high poverty area with little or no books at home.

In most cases they have families that are doing their best to survive. Michigan residents depended on the auto industry and many parents are unemployed at this time. My children are motivated by being a part of reader's theater, it makes them feel important when they can perform in front of their classmates. It encourages them to use expression in reading and actually bring stories to life. Our school is overcrowded and space is limited but we do our best to make learning exciting.

My Project

The resources will create excitement and encourage my children to become proficient readers. They will be able to retell a story which will enhance their comprehension skills. I am planning to start school with a fairy tale unit and having the costumes and props will give them incentive to become fluent readers and brighten their introduction to reading quality literature. It is my belief that when students are active participants and feel a sense of belonging their desire to learn is remarkable.

My hope is to inspire a classroom of children with the magic of reading.

Having an opportunity to create this dream for my kids will truly make a difference. Every child wants to be a star and creating magical characters will impact all of my students to become life long learners. Please be a part of our journey by supporting this project.
