My Students
The students at our school are some awesome kids! They bring so many diverse qualities with them to school each day. The students that my school serves are mostly Native American with representation from Navajo and Hopi tribes, as well as a large Hispanic population. Students speak many different languages at home and come from diverse home environments. There are many needs that are students have and our school provides a place for students that can feel like home.
We are a place-based school, meaning that our students learn about the culture and environment in the place they live in.
We provide experiences for students to enhance their understanding of their place through learning excursions and project-based learning. There are so many amazing things that go on in our school each and everyday!
My Project
These materials will make a difference in my students' learning by providing them with an engaging text that they can fall in love with. Hearing students get excited about reading, specifically those that struggle is a continual hope for my students.
Students need books that they can relate to and are culturally relevant.
This text would allow students to access historical fiction in a culturally relevant way, that both challenges and interests to help students reach grade level standards.
It is difficult to find books that match student interest and are also relevant and engaging. This class set would help sustain student interest, as well as provide challenge and rigor.
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
