My Students

Have you ever been so engaged in a book that you felt like you had, in fact, entered into another world? That's the type of reading material that I want to supply for my students - quality stories that spark their imagination and cultivate their curiosity.

My students come from all walks of life - we have a very diverse group.

There are a wide-range of academic abilities and background experiences. Some students have had much less exposure to quality literature than their peers. All of my students are talented young people with a real desire to learn!

My Project

The thirty-one copies of Coraline. and one Coraline: The Graphic Novel will be used in a series of shared reading lessons where we explore perspectives and language use. By sharing the same text, the students will be able to engage with each other in meaningful literary discussions. Additionally, we will be using some of the imagery in this text to create works of visual art.

Having access to quality texts is a constant struggle under our school budget.

Not all of my students have books at home, and their lack of exposure to well-written, engaging materials puts them at a disadvantage. With a book in every students' hands, they will be able to better examine and engage in the text.
