To be an effective teacher, you need to go on and beyond and find ways to reach out to the students. Third grade is an important year. These students will be engaging the challenges that the FCAT will bring. With this must come preperation. There are fabulous tools to help focus and prepare the students but they can be costy. I would also like to build a classroom library with novels. With the help of Adopt A Class, I would be able to help my students learn in a fun, productive and effective environment.
