My Students

As a teacher in a low-income, ethnically diverse school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

My young students have a natural curiosity and need many and varied opportunities to explore and grow.

They are eager to learn and deserve the chance to thrive in a classroom equipped to promote the love of learning.

My Project

I want to have a listening center (CD player and headphone in my classroom to promote the love of books and reading. Having a listening center in my classroom will enable a small group of students to independently listen to books on CD while following along with a book in their hands.

Reading Opens up a whole new world for young children.

They love to be read to, but not all are fortunate enough to have this experience at home. I know from experience, that listening to stories being read to them will inspire creativity and the love of reading.
