My Students

My third graders are a great group of students! My classroom is made up of thirty eager third graders. I also have a wide range of reading and math abilities in my classroom. My reading levels range from pre-kindergarten to fourth grade.

It's important that I read with these children every day to get them on grade level by the end of the year.

Many of my students are very low readers, speak English as a second language, and get free or reduced-price lunch. All my students will do anything for anybody, especially the ESL students. We are always bringing the best out of everyone. Despite my students' backgrounds, they all have one thing in common, and that is their love of learning and helping others.

My Project

My students are extremely intelligent and always ready to learn. However, they are early learners and face many challenges throughout lessons. Many of them have a difficult time focusing their attention on the tasks/discussions at hand and it is having a negative impact on their academic progress. They are provided with several opportunities for movement throughout the day.

However, there are small periods of time that are needed for them to just to get the work done.

My students need a small table for guided reading and math instruction. This will help the struggling students meet their goal. Having this project funded would truly give my students the opportunity that is needed to reach their fullest potential, while trying their best on their way to academic success.
