My Students

I have a diverse group of sixth grade students. Many students live in low-socioeconomic neighborhoods and read significantly below grade level. Their ability levels range from students who struggle in school due to learning disabilities, to students performing above grade level and are gifted. One common characteristic among all students is their enthusiasm for learning.

I work diligently to plan exemplary literacy lessons and activities that challenge the students, but also allow them to use their unique talents and abilities to showcase or demonstrate their depth of knowledge.

I want to motivate and inspire my students to become lifelong learners.

My Project

Motivating and inspiring sixth grade students to work to their full capabilities is difficult. I have learned several tricks to get students to increase the quality of their work.

The new multicultural books encourage students to read more, while colored pens and colored paper are used to publish and share a variety of reading and writing assignments with the school community and families.

The requested supplies encourage the students to be active participants in their learning and an essential component for a positive learning environment that is conducive for learning.
