My Students

I teach a wonderful group of third graders in a small district in Washington. My students have a variety of needs and levels of learning. Some love to read and I can't get them to put books down, some love their math and even ask for extra homework!

My students come to school eager to learn every day.

They never back down from a challenge, and the looks on their faces when they complete a difficult task is my favorite part of this job. This classroom is not just a classroom, we are a community who share in our successes and grow from our failures. While preparing them to move onto fourth grade, we also focus on having a growth mindset and how they can do good for the world, even in the third grade!

My Project

Read aloud is the best of the day. I have read this story to my third graders every year and it is a favorite.

Watching students fall in love with stories as much as I have is my favorite part of my job!

Katherine Applegate wrote a heart-wrenching story about a gorilla who is locked in a strip mall instead of his natural habitat. This story pairs well with our habitat unit.

I know putting a copy of this book in my students hands will help students access higher level text and be more engaged. When students are able to have their own copy of a story in their hands, they are able to grow in many reading areas such as vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.

Thank you for your help!
