My Students

Have you read a good movie lately? When was the last time you read a book, then saw the movie, and were amazed at the differences? I teach more than 130 kids every day from every imaginable background; homelessness to big, fancy houses, drug abuse to pillars of society, foster homes to stable, two parent homes. One thing that we all have in common - we LOVE to talk and discuss! What would be better than a book to discuss?

My Project

Books can cause many reactions and emotions - love, fear, anger, sadness, joy. "The Hate You Give" is a popular bestseller that is now a popular movie. We'll read and discuss the book, then watch the movie and compare the two as our first book in our after school club. The book has started many important conversations. I'm anxious for my students (all grades at my middle school) to have a chance to be a part of a community centered around reading and discussions. This is a chance for my kids to have a voice outside of school. Reading, relationships, discussions - how great would that be for YOUR child?
