My Project
All scholars remember at least one novel from their early years that really resonated with them. My goal with this project is to use these resources to drastically help our scholars get the best education of the novel "A Long Walk to Water" possible.
Having the right resources will really help to open the world of literature for our scholars.
The novels themselves will sit on our shelves where they can be accessed at any point in the year. The bookmarks are for the scholars to help keep their place in the story as we "popcorn read." They are so fantastic because they have a highlighted guide for them to follow along with! The highlighters will help us annotate throughout the year, while the composition books and folders serve as our guided notes as we work our way through the story. Ensuring that every scholar has the right tools for learning will make a significant impact for us.
Our learners are so passionate and so eager to read more. I cannot wait to take them on this literary journey!
