My Students

My students are young, enthusiastic, and funny, but also misunderstood and sometimes labeled according to mistakes they've made. My students long to see themselves represented in a positive light in the books they read. It is a beautiful experience to watch my students connect with literature.

My Project

The matierials in this projects will help organize everything from our desks to our shelves! The binders requested in this project will help keep each student's work in order. The chart paper requested will be used to create anchor charts to organize our thoughts and ideas in our writing, and the library cart requested will help us maintain order in our classroom library.

We all need a little help from time to time keeping things in order; this project will help keep Room 106 running smoothly!

My students work hard and it's so much easier to work hard when everything is organized.
