Most students who come to this classroom struggle with a traditional school setting. They and their parents have taken the brave step and chosen a different path. They are working in a correspondence program, tutoring, or are coming in to attend a variety of supplemental educational activities to add to their education. They are looking for extra support, improving grades and skills, and some to even complete a high school diploma past the traditional 12 years.
But these students and families are not giving up!
They, and their families are trying extra ways to start a new life. Some are still young, some are struggling with adolescence in hard times, some are in the beginnings of adulthood. All are from a rural area of Alaska. The families are very involved and the students are very motivated. All because they want an overall better family life.
Please show them that they can do this and their education will be worth it.
My Project
Scholastic Books is a trusted publisher and has created these leveled book sets for classroom use. We currently have no classroom or school library books so these would be a great start!
I am trying to bring back the enjoyment of basic reading and also of good literature.
I have two projects here that involve books. This one is for leveled readers. Reading is such a basic skill that everyone needs!
These books will be available to check out and read to all the students and families who enter into the space. We have families with multiple aged children so these sets will be great for them so everyone can practice checking out books to bring home to read!
