Let's Read, Learn, and Teach!

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn about famous people in a fun exciting way with these books. They will then put reports together with the binding machine to show at the end of the year!

My Project

This project will help me implement a fun way to learn about people who have made an impact on our world. The kids will each get to pick someone who has made a big difference in the world. They will then be able to do many different types or reports on the person they chose. once the reports are done we will use the binding machine to put them all together.

Our students are very hard workers and they are very excited to learn every day when they come to class this will be a fun way for them to earn their very own desk pet for their own.

We are a very diverse school; at times we will have students that speak at least two different languages, where English is not their first language. Many of my students' parents will have more than one job so that they can support their family. Even though they are not in their child's life as much as they want to, the parents still have high expectations for their own children. Because of their home life they look to us to help their student grow and become successful in life.
