My Students

Our students bring energy into our classroom each day. Their curiosity and willingness to learn make our classrooms exciting. They love cooperative learning and openly accept each new challenge we give them.

Our classrooms are full of diverse learners—culturally, economically, and academically.

Mrs. McDonough and I would love the opportunity to make sure each student is getting what they need which is why new books are so very important. Please help our students get what they need to succeed.

My Project

Students need to see themselves represented in their learning. Additionally, they need to be able to access the content at their appropriate learning level. By expanding our biography libraries, we can make this project accessible to all our students. These new books will include many different people and reading levels.

New books will allow students a chance to choose who they are studying—a voice in their learning!

Not only this, but it will give our students a chance to have books that pique their interest at their reading level. Please help us bring the love of learning to all our students.
