My Students

I love my students and enjoy being with them daily. I'm so thankful for in-person learning even through the challenges of navigating the Covid pandemic! At this age, my students come to class so eager to learn. They are like a sponge, just soaking it all in. They have a positive disposition and there is nothing more enjoyable than to see their smiling faces as they enter the classroom each morning!

They enjoy being in a classroom where they can explore and learn about their world around them.

The students like to complete projects and work together to make sure everyone in class understands the concepts taught and they know that there are many teachers in one classroom and not just me!

My Project

The resources I am requesting for my students will be used every day for their learning. The Lab Set of headphones are needed by my students while they are on their chrome books working on skills, taking tests, or listening to books being read aloud to them.

Just think of all the fun they will have while using the Lake Shore Learning Games and improving their comprehension skills!

My students love learning in fun ways and the learning games will allow them to work together at reading centers.

I will use the Book Bins to help organize the many books I have in our classroom library.
