My Students
I am a teacher/librarian at an elementary school that serves many Navy and Army families in Hawaii.
The library is the center of encouraging literacy on our preschool through 6th grade campus.
About half of the students at my school are military dependents who move locations every three years. My students come to the library twice a month for library visits where they borrow books for academic and recreational purposes.
My Project
I'd like to update my nonfiction books on engineering superstructures, sports, and the Summer Olympics. Many of the current books in my collection are from the 70s and 80s and are falling apart. It's important to provide up-to-date information as much of the technology has changed. In addition, many students on our school track and field team are looking for current books about the sport. This is one sport where training can still continue with COVID-19 restrictions. We also have students requesting books on swimming, especially in conjunction with the Summer Olympic games. I'd like to provide opportunities for students to have access to these types of books.
Students will utilize these materials during blended learning research projects and independent reading time.
My collection needs updating to meet the needs of my students and their research interests.
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
