I teach eighth grade students. They are polite, respectful, energetic and dedicated to doing their best every day. Eighth grade is the transition and bridge year to high school, and my students are aware of the importance of this critical point in their education. Many of them are stepping up with better grades and a better attitude than in their two previous years of middle school, due to maturity and a realization that college is near.
My students are passionate 21st-century learners at a California Distinguished School.
Some of my students come from affluent households and some come from the other extreme. The students have all had access to high achieving schools and exemplary teachers in our school district coupled with rigorous educational standards.
Despite the varied financial backgrounds from which they come, these students have forged deep friendships and relationships with one another. Within the classroom walls, these students will stop at nothing to support one another in becoming successful, just like a family! The work ethic, stamina, and perseverance that my students possess are inspirational and a positive foundation that I want to ensure they carry on with them to high school and beyond.
My Project
This project will fund two large cubed bookcases that will help organize our classroom library into genres. Having a bookcase that is separated into cubes will really help my students see the different genres of books that are available to them.
Selecting a book to read can be overwhelming for students, so having bookcases that allows for the book genres to be clearly separated allows my students to zero in on the books that are the best match for them.
These bookcases are also aesthetically pleasing to young adults so they are drawn to them and the books inside them.
