My Students

My students come from diverse backgrounds. We have over 5 cultures represented in our class and three different home languages spoken. My students come from working-class families where most parents work full time out of necessity.

Even though my class is filled with students with a range of reading levels, they all have one thing in common, gaining new knowledge.

They love to read stories and listen to stories. They're always asking when we're going to go to the library, can they write me a story, or asking when I am going to finish the read-aloud. They also look forward to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) activities. They love making connections to our projects to real-world experiences and technology.

My Project

My students must be prepared for 4th grade next school year. This school has taken a toll on many of my students mentally and academically. They need fun and engaging activities to retain the information they learned and give them a preview of what's to come.

Providing my students with high-interest summer bridge books will allow them to keep learning.

My students love hands-on activities to connect to the concepts they are learning, such as comic strips and science projects. I know my students will love the projects they can complete using the guides in the book.
