My Students

The third graders at my school are inquisitive, compassionate, and creative. Our classroom is very diversified and has students from all backgrounds with different learning styles. We have students with special needs, students whose primary language is not English, gifted learners, children with military backgrounds, and students that come from low income families. Our school is a Title I school with 100% of our students receiving free breakfast and lunch. My students come into class everyday eager to learn something new.

My Project

We do a supplementary reading curriculum to help our students grasp reading concepts through cute, animated picture books. Actually having the book on hand is invaluable for showing pictures and letting the students hold the text as well. Providing the students in my classroom with these materials allows them to think outside the box and connect certain texts to various reading concepts. The students love these books and it makes teaching the curriculum a lot easier with the book in hand. It helps the students to visualize the illustrations as well as view them and pick up on the reading concept they are supposed to be learning for that particular book!
