My Students

I work with a wonderful and diverse group of 29 5th graders. We celebrate our differences in my classroom and know that as learners we may need different things at different times to be our very best.

"Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow" is our school's motto.

We work hard to establish a warm, welcoming classroom community where all students can succeed.

My students benefit from making choices in how they learn best. One of the choices I hope to offer them this year, is flexible seating options.

My Project

My students are enthusiastic about growing as readers! Many of the books in my classroom library are old and falling apart. We need new and interesting books that interest my students. These books will be added to my classroom library and will be used by my students immediately during independent reading time both in school and at home.

I hope to bring new and diverse books to my classroom library so that all of my students can see people just like themselves in books.

The addition to the library will have an immediate impact on my class as the students will be excited about the books they have to read.
