I teach 100 wonderful sixth graders in Memphis who inspire and challenge me every day. They love action and fantasy and obsess over anything they find that they love. We're a high-performing charter in one of the poorest neighborhoods in our city. Over 90% of my students came to us from failing elementary schools. This is their first year with us, and we have some major catching up to do - but you will not meet a more determined and hard-working group of children anywhere. Their largest gap is in reading - our students come in on average at a mid-third grade level. We've instituted an additional reading period every day, where they get a chance to experience reading novels (much of ELA time needs to be focused on learning skills). We've read Holes and Ninth Ward and so many have told me they enjoy reading like never before, that they never knew a book could be fun.
