Teacher
"Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are." Our day begins with opening up our minds and imagination by reading a book of our choice. We then enjoy time to share what we read with our friends. This is one of our favorite times of the day. The majority of the students we serve at our school come from low income families. Our motto is to be committed to guiding our students to fall in love with learning and with life. My second graders have fallen in love with reading. They love sharing what they are reading. At times they persuade each other to read the book they have read by telling us a synopsis of the book, but not revealing the ending. They are so silly but this joy of reading passes on from peer to peer to even their siblings. They don't read because they have to, they read because they want to.
