My students are smart, ambitious people, but they do not come from privileged homes. My hope is that with this donation, my students will each receive a distance learning package they can use at home. I'm uncertain on whether any of them have the materials to participate in distance learning. These materials include basic necessities such as pencils, erasers or even notebooks to write in. As we are starting our narrative unit online, I want each one of my students to have their own copy of "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie. What better way to start off a narrative unit than with a high interest murder mystery novel.
