My Students

My first-grade students love to learn! Every morning they walk into our classroom with a big smile. They love to read, to be read to, play math games, work on coding, and write stories. They are curious and inquisitive children, and they challenge me every day to grow with them and be the best I can be.

We work hard to create a classroom community where students can explore, wonder, and discover the world around them.

We ask questions, share our ideas, expand our learning environment using technology, and publish our work to share with the world. They work and collaborate with one another to learn.

Our school also focuses on character building. Children's kindness and compassion are recognized and celebrated. We are proud to be a part of an amazing school. We are a family. We learn, play, laugh, and grow together!

My Project

Learning to write can be tricky for some young learners, but modeling and shared writing experiences will be a great way to introduce writing. I would like to have a daily shared writing time on a carpet, where I will model writing on a chart paper at the easel. Sometimes I will share a marker to write a piece together with students. Some days I will start my writing lesson with reading a good mentor text.

We will celebrate our progress in writing by keeping a writing portfolio throughout the year.

At the end of school year we will compile all the writing into a book. I can't wait to see how proud my students will be next May!
