My Students

We have teachers who regularly use our library resources to support their classroom instruction. These books are specifically geared towards topics that are taught in classrooms throughout our school. Eyewitness Books are fantastic for even the most reluctant reader!

We are a middle school in NC and have a very diverse school population, with students from all types of backgrounds.

Many of our students' families struggle financially, as 62 percent of our students are on free/reduced lunch programs. Many of our students also have difficulty reading and we feel that these books will help even the most struggling student.

My Project

We are a well utilized middle school media center and do all we can to support learning in every classroom. If we can capture our students' interest with interesting and informative books, then we feel we will help them become more successful students.

Our goal with these Eyewitness Books is to have resources available that will support our classroom instruction.

Every one of these books is based on a subject taught in our classes and we feel that these books will help these subjects come to life!
