My Students

My energetic first-graders enter the classroom ready to learn, discover, and explore. My students are curious, creative, kind and helpful. My class represents countries from all over the world, as well as many different learning levels.

In this class, we work together to form a community as we learn, laugh, and celebrate our achievements.

My students are eager to learn and explore daily!

My Project

I am trying to get my kids excited about reading by adding new books to our class library. With the addition of these new books, it will be a great way to encourage my class to read at any time. By having access to a printer in the classroom, the students will also have the ability to create their own stories.

Having a selection of various books in my classroom allows my students the ability to set a reading goal and have the tools they need to achieve it.

I believe this will motivate my students to try their best and develop a deeper love for reading. I can't wait to see my students get excited about new books to read!
