My Students

Fourth grade is such an important time in a child's life. In this grade, a teacher will learn if a child will struggle with reading or just absolutely love it.

Teachers are champions of every student that walks through their door.

No matter what the ability or disability might be.

My students are no different. Learning is easy for some and harder and more challenging for others. All of them deserve to have tools and resources that will let them succeed.

My Project

These materials are being used to keep everyone in the classroom safe. It is impossible to learn if you are worried about a virus and if you may catch it. I can't promise that these materials will 100 per cent keep kids totally safe from COVID-19 but I know that they are a step in the right direction. The air purifier is a prime example of that. It gives us all a level of comfort and security knowing that the air we are breathing in is being cleaned and germ free.

Sometimes we all just need to fly away and disappear.

I requested reading materials because we are all under a lot of stress right now. Scholastic News is a wonderful way for students to stay notified about what is going on and at the same time be engaged in fun and creative activities. We need a break from it all and that is what reading does. It allows us to travel somewhere that ordinarily we would never go.
