I definitely agree with Olivia in that I hope to also create a great library for my classroom. I have taken children lit. classes, yet I still don't feel fully prepared to make one of my own. I also hope that I, too, can create a positive environment in which literacy can be seen as a passion for my students. I also hope to "learn how to teach a group of students that cover such an extensive range," such as Carrie has mentioned. I feel that because students vary in their reading and writing abilities, I'm not quite sure how I would incorporate literacy so that all my students will be successful and also follow the curriculum, as well as support them. I feel there is so much to do with literacy, but I just don't even know where to start. Another thing I have been thinking about is if there are students who are at the correct level and students below their age/grade level, do we set different goals and standards for them, as well as grading assignments for them?

I also agree with Melanie and Olivia about creating a rich library. I have been building a library for a few years and am excited to have the opportunity to use it. I feel that one of the best ways to get students excited about literacy is by having an expansive library that incorporates all students.
It is interesting to read my peers posts as it seems that we are all in the same boat: we want to be good teachers and provided quality literacy activities to our students but we don't know how. It is almost impossible to think about how a teacher incorporates standards with the different reading levels while all the while making literacy enjoyable and engaging.
I have the same question that Melanie poses, as my placement has such a range of reading levels.
