My Students

My students come from a very poor economic part of town. Many can have a difficult background. Each of them bring a wonderful sense of love and compassion to our school everyday.

Our school has over 95% of the students receiving a free or reduced lunch.

With those struggles going on in their lives everyday our students deserve to have the equipment and materials that would to be exciting and appealing to them in a school where they feel accepted and loved.

My Project

My students will become better readers, learn how to use dictionaries, use their imagination, and do research. I also have them find digraphs, vocabulary words, blends, diphthongs, and specific types of words.

I enjoy teaching with dictionaries and regular books because they are looking for something different than simply reading for their enjoyment.

They are asked to look for something specific that they would not have looked at before. My English Language Learners get a lot of information this way with vocabulary. It expands and enriches their pallet.

They have enjoyed my library thus far but I am running out of books that are on their levels. Please help me to enrich my students lives by helping to let them dive into more books and hours of knowledge.
