My Students

I am a third grade ICT special education teacher. My school is in a pleasant, diverse neighborhood with students of several backgrounds. My students have varying strengths and weaknesses that effect their learning. I have a class of students with very high potential that are very enthusiastic about learning.

As an ICT special education teacher, my students are each unique in the way they learn.

Some of them are visual learners, some are auditory, and others learn better when they do hands on activities. To best address their needs, there are many different effective materials that could be used to help them reach their full potential.

My Project

The books that I chose will expose my students to a variety of different genres and are both fiction and nonfiction. My students enjoy reading different types of books. This selection of books contains diverse themes and subjects that will provide students the opportunity to choose which books piques their interest. They will be able to use these books in a variety of different learning settings. This group of books can be used with guided reading groups, a whole class read-aloud, shared reading, independent or buddy reading, and flexible seating. In addition, the books will help my students grow as readers and since they contain themes that are of interest to them, they will have a positive reading experience and will find reading enjoyable and something they want to keep on doing instead of seeing it as "something that has to be done."
