What is the Nook all about?
The careying nook is a place for students to come and learn in a safe and
comfortable environment. The goal is to open up a new sense of freedom in
reading, and offer a creative new wave of learning that will meet a multitude of
learning styles. I want to show students that they don’t need to be afraid of
reading and learning, that with a little hard work and practice they can
succeed.

GoalMy goal as a teacher is to get to know the individual student. When teachers treat student as equal they are actually treating them different. "Equal does not = Equal". Every student is different and learns differently. If teachers treat all students equal they are only meeting one type of learning style. My goal is to get to know students individual learning styles and help reach as many of those learning styles each day in class. Knowing students learning style will help them to have a better opportunity to succeed. For example: if a student is a visual learner and the only assignments he is required to do are reading from a textbook and writing a paper, his learning style will never be reached. and he will never have the opportunity to show his strengths. Kids are creative and different and need a teacher who is willing to step out of the box!

Falling in Love with reading The more comfortable your students become with reading the more confident they will become in other areas of academics. You might also be surprised on on how their confidence will shine with their peers. while teaching I also want to show students how to "fall in love with reading". By this I mean that I want students to have a comfort level where they are not ashamed to read aloud or complete assignments on their own. I will use interactive reading sites and reading times in class to create a fun outlook on reading. My main goal is to eliminate the stereotype that reading is boring and to hard. Students will have to read for the rest of their lives no matter how much technology changes. Therefore the more comfortable they are with reading the more confident they will be!
