My Students

"A grape bunch!" What a fitting description of my students! Having taught them this last year in the fourth grade, I am delighted to have them back again for their final year in elementary school. My students are defined by the effort they give each and every day.

This past year they have shown their willingness and determination to overcome challenges borne of their disabilities, to achieve wonderful academic success.

I could not be prouder of their results.

One of the things that is most admirable about my students is their generosity, their willingness to share and help one another. I have seen them carrying one another's bags, sharing their lunches, encouraging one another when the work gets more intense and engaging in great peer activities. Their passion for learning positively impacts mine for teaching. Nothing makes me happier than to see my "grape bunch" enthusiastic about learning.

My Project

Oh, the places they'll go if they can enjoy their reading! In my classroom students are able to move around and sit on the rug during independent reading time. This flexibility allows them to be comfortable so that they can focus on their reading. Different students are able to utilize the bean bags on alternate days to ensure fairness. My students love the bean bags and I can use them as well for positive rewards.

Alas, My current bean bags are worn out and have gone flat.

I am requesting a new set of bean bags to replace my old and disheveled ones. I'm sure you;ll agree with me when I say that "reading is fundamental". Thus it is imperative that students should relax comfortably and enjoy their reading experience.
