My Students

I moved from rural, upstate New York and now teach 4th grade in rural South Carolina. The students I teach have taught me countless things about the southern culture, including the delicious food! While the areas of the country are very different, the kids are very similar. They are eager to learn through hands on, group activities, and can light up the room with their personalities!

Our classroom is an energetic, dynamic community where students learn through discussion and activities as much as possible.

We focus on things that can be completed at school because their are many obstacles to overcome while completing work at home.

My Project

It is vital for the students that I teach to read in small groups with me on a regular basis. While I am working with these groups my students need engaging materials to work on. The last thing I want these children doing is worksheet after worksheet to keep them quiet and learning!

These reader's theater sets will allow them to practice the much needed skill of fluency in an interactive way with their peers.

As a bonus, the particular sets I have requested will integrate social studies as well! I'm so excited to introduce my students to the world of reader's theater!
