My Students
My students are 11th and 12th graders in an urban district. We are smaller in size than neighboring districts, representing a unique group of students.
We are a diverse group learners.
Students in my district represent 92 countries and over 50 languages spoken. My students complete the range of socio-economic status. Some do not have access to books. Some have a library full at home. My goal is to make this gap smaller. They are amazingly open-minded students who love to think and be challenged every day.
My Project
This year will be different. In so many ways, we are coming into a year with so many unknowns. I want to create consistency in one area for students -- books and reading.
I need to get books in students' hands with every opportunity I can.
This will look different throughout the year and I am already brainstorming different ways. Initially, during any face-to-face time I have with students, I will be shoving multiple books at them so they will be prepared in the event of a shutdown. I will do porch pickups and deliveries as needed during virtual learning. Because reading is THAT important.
By and in large, students prefer print books. Please help me to grow my classroom library with the lastest titles about the topics students are hungry to know more about, specifically anti-racism.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
