My Students

I currently teach 4th grade scholars in the Miami, Florida area in a difficult neighborhood of extreme poverty. I have enjoyed my year so much that I want to continue on with my scholars next year to 5th grade. My students are bright, intuitive, and have the drive to succeed no matter their circumstances. My students attend one of the lowest-achieving schools with little access to resources and experiences.

My students face unimaginable obstacles inside and outside of the classroom.

A majority of my students are at least a grade level behind where they should be, but that doesn't affect their determination to succeed. My students have a growth mindset, and they continue to amaze me with their perseverance and persistence. They will succeed. They will achieve.

The sky is the limit at my elementary school!

My Project

In order to foster a love of reading, students deserve quality reading materials! I want to give my students the opportunity to read quality novels for novel studies!

Many of my students dislike reading- because they've never opened up a good book that they enjoy!

This project will allow me to have engaging and fun novel studies to read with my students. We will work in small groups to read, analyze, and discuss these amazing novels. If students are not given these opportunities to read, their reading will never improve. Many of my students struggle with reading, and small group instruction is the best for them!
