My Students

Our students love to learn and are very excited when new opportunities and experiences are given to them . Our school is 100% free and reduced lunch . My students love to read and see books about “them”. I love to see the excitement on their faces when they all in the door each day .

My Project

Students are more engaged and invested when they can relate to the text . I want my students to enjoy reading. By introducing them to characters that look like them or situations that they can relate to , will get them “ hooked “ Students need exposure to all kinds of literature . In schools we typically see literature that focuses on Caucasians. I want my students to see and learn about characters that look like them . There can be great conversations built around these novels and students will be able to have meaningful discussions with their classmates .
