My Students

This year, I will be inheriting another brilliant group of students. Our classroom will be entirely virtual and now that we are not together physically, it's more important than ever to create a space that will encourage growth. My second graders will be facing so many challenges in the upcoming year and part of my job is to provide them with a sense of comfort and normalcy.

My kids deserve every possible resource I can acquire for them so that they can be successful in their education and their future.

My students bring a lot of energy and interest into the classroom. In return, I do my best to make my classroom as inviting and exuberant as possible using any resources I can find. However, this is made extra challenging this year given the limitations that COVID-19 has placed on us. My kids need supplies that will allow them to have the engaging learning experiences they deserve.

My Project

With the amount of confusion that our kids are dealing with in this pandemic, it is more important than ever that we demonstrate togetherness. Each story will be used for a social-emotional lesson in my virtual classroom this year. All of these books tell inspiring stories of encouragement that will help my young babies grow into strong citizens.

These stories will help children understand themselves and the complex world around them.

My hope is to use these books to help build social-emotional intelligence in my kids as well as a love for reading!
