My Project
As educators, we understand how books of fiction have a power that no other form of communication does: the power to insert you fully and completely in someone else’s mind.
Reading is a meld between the mind of the reader and the writer, and the minds of the reader and character.
Our diverse, elementary-level students are exuberant readers, who love to delve into amazing books and soar to the moon with their creative imaginations.
They're actively engaged in the reading process and love to share their ideas and thoughts with others. I want my students to read like writers. We will use our study of the text to explore the writer’s craft. We'll start from the foundation that every sentence in a novel has a purpose and was deliberately included.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
