My Students

I am a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district. My students are faced with several challenges, both in and out of the classroom.

My students are an amazing group of third graders who are eager to learn and explore.

They are living a growth-mindset philosophy, embracing the new learning experiences and challenges and are ready to stretch and grow their brain muscles. Children are like sponges, ready to soak up everything. It is my pleasure and duty to help shape their precious minds to love learning and be successful.

My Project

My students are curious readers who enjoy reading and learning about various people and ideas.

Who HQ books are the best place to discover all the fascinating stories and amazing facts about trailblazers, legends, places, and events.

While we have several books in our class collections, students are always asking to read more. These books will be a great way for students to learn through reading during independent reading time and reading at home with their families.

Since this series is of high interest to students, I want them to be able to have access to as many books as possible.
