My Students

Did you know 1 in 4 adults has not read a book in the last YEAR? My biggest goal for this year is to send every student to the next grade with a passion for reading. Literacy is so incredibly important and I firmly believe that children MUST be engaged at a young age. They need exciting stories!

This will be my first year in a new school (thus the need for NEW books!) so I don't know my students just yet, but the third graders I have worked with in the past have all had such an enthusiasm for learning.

I have worked with almost every grade level and every type of learning ability, and I believe that all students WANT to learn.

My Project

Books such as Capture the Flag, Stranded, and Sideways Stories from Wayside School will go to GREAT use as a part of our classroom library. We will be reading frequently and books will be suggested to students based on reading level and interest. When a student is interested in the text they are reading, their comprehension triples!

I absolutely love to read, and I know that not everybody does.

However, as a language arts centered classroom, it is my goal to create a love for reading in every single student. I will expose them to a variety of styles and subjects in order to help them find a genre they love, whether it is anime, mystery, or science fiction.
