Create the Incredible Library of Mr. Wiegand

Help me give my students materials that engage them and create a love of reading. Students don't read novels anymore in school. Students in my class are allowed to choose the novels that inspire them.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

One of the goals of every educator should be to create life long readers. Too often the way schools teach reading can be seen as a chore. Students are not allowed to select what they want to read and instead must read a book their teacher wants them to read.

My goal is to supply my class with engaging materials of all reading levels that will allow my students to cherish their reading time and learn that books are magical and exciting.

With engaging in class materials, and the time to actually use them, my students can develop the skills to become life long readers.
