My Project

I am starting my first year of teaching in August in 6th grade. I am currently a full-time sub. I have gotten to know my incoming students well and have made plans for novel studies using the requested books for the upcoming year that will encourage them to think, spark their creativity and imagination during writing prompts, and inspire them with touching coming-of-age stories that they can find themselves in. During writing prompts, the students will put themselves in the place of the main characters, the narrators, and write letters and create trip budgets.

Grades 6-8
    More than half of students from low‑income households Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
