My Students

I teach Read 180 to sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. Our school has a very small population and we often get to know every student throughout the building. It's a very family-like atmosphere where everyone is there to support one another and to see that every student finds success. When they come to my classroom, it is my goal to help them be comfortable, to find something that interests them and to help them discover a love for reading.

My Project

In Read 180, students work in three stations throughout the classroom that include independent reading, software and small-group instruction. With small-group instruction, students often pull their desks together and discuss and work with a variety of reading skills and strategies. Students create graphic organizers, charts and a variety of other visuals to show their understanding of stories and concepts being covered. With a new table, we can devote one section of the room for small-group work. I would like to enhance our reading area with a new reading table. We are soon getting some alternate seating options to add more comfort to the reading area and would also like to add a new table. Not only do I want students to leave my classroom better readers, but I also want them to enjoy reading. By creating a safe and engaging classroom, I think many of my students over the last ten years have left at the end of the year knowing they have accomplished both goals.
