My Students

At my school I teach 30 second grade students in which I care about deeply. They truly are the best. These students live in a large urban school district that is under funded. They come from many different ethnic backgrounds and frequently they are missing the building blocks they need for success. Many of my students come to 2nd grade reading below grade level so it is important for them to want to read.

Having interesting reading material is key to helping my students be life-long readers.

My students will utilize these resources and become exciting and engaging literacy learners!

Giving my students every advantage is the best way that I can help them. Giving them basic things like magazines and books on CD's is just the beginning of this long journey.

My Project

Having interesting materials for my students to read is so important. Currently I have a library for my students to read books but I would like give my students many other ways to fulfill reading in the classroom and at home.

By having the magazines and the books on CD's my students will have a variety of choices.

I will use the Scholastic magazines in my class during shared reading, center time and as a resource for reading with their families. The books with CD's will be used during center time, independent reading or if there is a student who needs a moment in the Calming area.
