My Project

Our elementary school is a Title I school and our students come to school eager to learn. Students come from a variety of socioeconomic and social backgrounds. We are a community school so our students receive meals and other services for free, supporting the whole child. Our school is a place of learning, structure, safety, love, and support for our students.

“There are worse crimes than burning books, one of them is not reading them,” Ray Bradbury.

Our students have time to work in small book clubs during our school WIN time. Working to build a diverse group of books that will allow students to read books. This book club is in addition to CORE reading instruction. This is a time when each student gets "What I Need". Many of our students need to read books. Book access and literacy are often limited in our students' families. I want to be sure that every student gets the chance to see how reading opens up the world for them. These books will help build that book club library so that all students can read in a book club and embrace the world that reading opens for them. Reading is what makes our students better readers.
