My Students

My students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. I want them to know I believe in them and they can do anything. They are beginning to like to read and I want to encourage them to continue reading.

I teach at a Title I school in North Carolina where at least 70% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Many of my students receive backpack food on the weekend. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.

My Project

I'm requesting a class set of A Long Walk to Water books when we study Environmental Science, as well as ten copies of Zen and the Art of Faking It.

These books will allow my students to have different genres of books in the classroom.

They will be using these books in my classroom to help with their reading skills. Class novels allow us to read books together and have discussions about other cultures and religions. Books allow students to travel places using their imaginations when they cannot afford to travel to those places in the real world. Having books that my students like to read is the first step of my students becoming life long readers helping to continue to grow life long learners. This is the main reason I love to read and want my students to love to read as well.
