My Students
I am fortunate to teach an energetic 9th grade English class made up of creative learners, strong collaborators, and students who work to make a positive classroom environment. My students are diverse in their backgrounds, personalities, and interests, but come together to create a unique learning experience for themselves and myself.
My class is lucky enough to include students with distinctive learning backgrounds, extra-curricular interests, and students from more than seventeen different countries, all of whom bring so much to the classroom and make my job so special.
Having so many unique voices in the room creates an organized chaos that inspires all types of learning and teaching opportunities.
I am currently in my sixth year in education, and each year my students give me 180 more reasons to continue to work harder, learn more strategies, and reflect on my practice. Although there are no boring days, every day with my students reminds me how much I love this job, and how lucky I truly am.
My Project
My students will be able to utilize these diverse titles to enhance their own learning, inspire creativity, and help close the educational gap that began due to Covid. Our kids will be able to see themselves as characters in these stories, that have inclusive story lines, and come from authors from varying backgrounds.
After two years of interrupted online learning, students will be thrilled to have books in class that can be read without a screen.
I have noticed the fatigue that we all have after too much time on a screen, and students are craving the feeling of success that comes from finishing a book cover to cover.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
