My Project
I teach in a small public magnet middle school, and I teach all 3 grades, 6-7-8. Many of my students are Free and Reduced Meals, have little access to public libraries, and not a lot of books in their homes. I am the only Social Studies,and I am encouraging my students to read beyond what I can cover in class, to deepen their knowledge and understanding of people and cultures around the world. I want them to learn that opening a book can open new worlds to them.
All of the books for this project will expand the opportunities to learn for my students, by giving them access to materials to be able to further explore topics that interest them on their own.
Hopefully in the process I will be helping those so inclined to become lifelong readers. My students cover a wide range of abilities and experiences, and I am trying to serve and inspire them all.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
