My Students

The students in our school are special because they all come to school with a sense of community, family, and wonder despite the difficult situations or hardships they each have in their personal lives. I am amazed every single day, seeing the effort and dedication my students put forth. Homelessness, divorce, parent(s) in jail, gangs, abuse, lack of meals, or local shootings are sadly all too common with the population of children our school serves. Regardless of their personal home lives, they each deserve the same exposure and resources of children everywhere, including the more affluent areas of our city.

All students are special, but not all students are afforded the same resources or funding to help ensure they will have equal opportunities to meet the challenges of today and the future.

Our students are very interested in making a better life for themselves and their families already in their early elementary years. They have needed to grow up faster than their years to navigate a world that most children are usually happily ignorant of. This knowledge has given them each an urgency to learn. They know that literacy, technology, science, and math will be keys to unlocking their futures!

My Project

Our classroom has been slowly building a graphic novel collection. These books help build a love of reading, perseverance to sit and read, and help emerging readers too. Whenever there are opportunities to get new great books for our library, I always take the time to add them to our library.

The Toon books set from AKJ Education are perfectly leveled for emerging to advanced readers, plus this project is able to get 3X funding!

I have a few of these book in our library and they are very popular. This is the complete set of all 52 books.

These Toon graphic series books will definitely help my students' independent reading, whether they are in the classroom or at home. Thank you for helping donate to my class's love of reading!
