My Students

I teach fourth and fifth grade reading in one of the best rural schools in Oklahoma. My students are a diverse group with varied levels of learning. Our classroom is a space where students enjoy coming to learn. We are a Title I school with the majority of our students receiving free lunch.

These students have huge hearts and love to learn in non-traditional ways, such as room transformations, integrating the arts into our lessons, and project-based learning.

My students have curiosity, creativity, compassion, and positive attitudes. They are truly amazing people. My school is wonderfully supportive of the active hands-on learning that we do in our classroom. I couldn't ask for a better learning environment for these students. We are truly a community!

My Project

I work with over 150 students per day in our Title 1 Reading program. I want to save our environment by providing dry erase boards and markers for my students to use for written responses, rather than wasting pages of paper each day. We don't receive individual student supplies in our reading classroom, so all supplies are provided by the teacher, and by generous donors like you!

My students will integrate reading, writing, poetry, and art as they use these supplies to share their thoughts and perceptions.

We will use the dry erase boards on a daily basis and the cleaning solution will help preserve the boards for repeated use. We will use the dry erase markers in many of our projects to help the students share their responses to reading. The lights will be placed by our CAFE reading board to highlight the reading strategies that we will use daily. In addition, the timers will be used as we measure growth in reading fluency.

Thank you for supporting our classroom of readers! We appreciate you!
