I teach Language Arts to PHENOMENAL group of 6th graders. I am inspired daily by their perseverance in a year where just showing up is an act of courage. More than simply showing up, though, they are ready to learn! Their curiosity and creativity blow me away, while their kindness and laughter give me hope for our future.
My Project
Much to my delight, my students this school year are avid readers! Maybe it's all the time spent indoors since March; I like to say "books let you travel without moving your feet." Or maybe they've always enjoyed reading. Either way, I need to make sure they have plenty of reading material available to quench their thirst for learning whether in the classroom or stuck at home.
It's been said: we lose ourselves in books, we find ourselves there too.
I know books to be powerful tools for self-discovery and self-determination. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that my class library is reflective of my students' backgrounds. They need to see what THEY are capable of when they open a book.
