My Students

Our school is home to roughly 300 great fourth and fifth graders. Forty-six percent of our school’s population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, based on family income, making us a Title I school. Many local families are focused simply on working to sustain basic financial needs. Our schools are aging. We are struggling to put band aids on our buildings while we try to raise money for new ones. Our classroom budgets don't provide for all that we need.

My Project

I can't seem to keep Diary of a Wimpy Kid books in my classroom lending library. Kids borrow them and read them over and over and over.

Just the other day a student returned 4 books from this series after having them for over a year!

The covers were worn, the pages curled. He read and re-read them, then read them some more! And now the beaten copies are ready for the next kid.

Kids read these books, and I need more of them! Competing with electronics is no easy task, but this series gets kids reading. Re-reading familiar text is proven to increase reading fluency and comprehension. These books are of particular interest to my lowest readers who need them the most! Pictures support English Language Learners and those who struggle.
