My Students

My class consists of lively Kindergartners who are fascinated with learning! These little sponges soak up all they can in a day! The children know that reading can take them anywhere and they love to read. I teach in a low income, high poverty school district and my school isn't immune to that statistic. Not only are these sweet kids facing poverty struggles but many are also English language learners. I know that poverty and language doesn't define who they are or what they can do. My job is to help lay a foundation on which to build a lifelong love of learning and help each child soar into a better future.

My Project

During guided reading I will "guide" students through managing, reading, and writing. These books will help my students gain confidence while learning how to read books that they enjoy, good quality text that will help build strategic activity.

In the words of Marie Clay "Reading is a message getting, problem solving activity".

In order for my students to develop strategic activity and fast processing I need to expose them to high quality text. The Rigby series of books offers quality text that has great kid friendly, relatable story lines. These books will hold their interest while helping them learn how to problem solve in order to be a great reader.
