My Students
My kids are brilliant, inquisitive children, many of whom live in the nearby housing projects and homeless shelters. Their parents work extremely long hours to provide for their children, but many of my students come from homes where English is not the primary language. My students work very hard, and that hard work pays off: many of them attend some of the best high schools in New York City!
My children never cease to amaze me.
When describing the relationship between two characters in a fictional text, one student said, "Oh, you mean they have a symbiotic relationship?" Symbiotic relationship? I was floored. It was - once again - an example of how my students teach one another, and me, as much as I teach them.
My Project
After nearly two years of learning from home, students are returning to school in desperate need of physical, tangible books to read (instead of reading on screens and computers). During the pandemic, many students simply fell out of practice when it comes to reading -- for academics as well as for pleasure!
Our classroom library is in desperate need of new, high-interest books for students of all reading levels.
The best way to improve a child's reading capacity is to interest them in books that are part of a series, and many of the books I'm requesting are just that!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
