My Students

Our students live on the Omaha Indian Reservation. While some of our students are on or above grade level for reading, we have several that are grades behind. Our school is a 100% free and reduced lunch school.

The real story of our students is that they are great kids - unique, funny, and full of promise.

I'm excited to add materials that reflect diversity and will promote a love of reading. We not only want to develop better readers but also life-long learners.

My Project

Graphic novels are huge hits with our students. This list of books includes nonfiction works about civil rights, the Dust Bowl, and WWII. These works appeal to boys and girls of all ages. Kids are reading about important historical events, but in a way that keeps them turning the pages.

Fresh new titles from today's best graphic novelists are exactly what my students crave.

The list also includes some updated classics like Romeo and Juliet. It's a librarian's dream to get so many title requests from students. These books will help keep my readers hooked on reading.
