My Project
I have a mixture of students that live in low income apartments and students living in townhomes and huge expensive homes. Everyone having equal access to class materials helps in class equity.
The second part of this list is a class novel.
Helping kids learn to love reading is always my goal. The class novels we do are key to this.
Once a child starts to love reading their reading scores soar, because they get so motivated and read way more than what is required. I love teaching and I love all my students and want them to have an equitable chance at their education.
