My Students

My students are English Language Leaners who are eager to learn and explore the world around them. I teach at a Title I school in Brooklyn where all students receive free breakfast, lunch and basic school supplies.

Most of these students do not have opportunities to leave their neighborhood, and live in crowded apartments where they lack personal space.

My hope is to provide a classroom environment and classroom supplies which allow students to feel comfortable learning in the mode and location of their choosing.

My Project

In my classroom, students are encouraged to read throughout the day. All year, they work hard to understand their identities as readers; what books and themes they like or dislike, and why. These are students who may not own a single book, who may not have the opportunity to go to the public library.

My hope is that by providing students with more books to read and engage with, they will further strengthen their reading identities.

I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they enter our room filled with so many brand new books and characters!
