My Students

My third grade class is full of energy and enthusiasm. My students come to my room every morning with a variety of emotional and academics challenges. I am constantly inspired by their perseverance and commitment to learning. A large percentage of the students in our building are performing below grade level in reading and mathematics. My students learn in a variety of ways, and I would like to provide them with a variety of learning tools to meet their needs!

My students are creative, caring, compassionate, and love to learn.

They are not afforded the same opportunities as students in other schools. My students deserve to have educational materials that are current, relevant and engaging. As a teacher of all black and brown scholars, I feel an additional responsibility to make up for outdated curriculum that is not culturally relevant to my students. Please help me get these children high quality learning materials.

My Project

These materials will greatly improve my reading and math time as students will have a chance to engage in more hands-on activities. The goal is to create a more student centered classroom where students feel motivated to explore and learn independently. The reading materials include high interest independent practice at a variety of levels and fluency practice that will help my struggling readers. The math activities are for independent work time and include games and puzzles that review our third grade math standards. These activities will also help solidify understanding of earlier standards that students may continue to struggle with.

I believe that a new and fun approach to learning will engage my students and help them become successful independent learners.

I selected these materials not only because they match our third grade standards but because they are also at a variety of levels. I want all of my students to feel successful and work independently regardless of their current level. I would be absolutely thrilled to add these learning materials to our classroom.
