My students come from a low-income/high poverty area and are very diverse, both in race and socio-economic status. 100% of our students receive free lunch and breakfast. Many have experienced trauma and have some tough home lives, but that doesn't bring them down. They come to school every day and are very eager to learn.
Even with all their struggles, they work very hard and take great pride when they accomplish a tough lesson.
They are enthusiastic about learning and excited to explore new learning opportunities every day!
My Project
During the month of March, our school celebrates "March is Reading Month." Across all grades, our scholars engage in a variety of activities throughout the month that encourage reading and inspire a love of literacy.
Some of my scholars' favorite series are 'Dork Diaries' and 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid.' The format of these series is unique; they are a chapter book, but have pictures and images throughout similar to a comic.
My scholars can't get enough of them, and they are perfect for developing readers!
We have a few of these books in our existing classroom library, but they are always among the first to be checked out. In addition, they have been so well-loved that they are simply worn out. I am excited to incorporate more books I know my scholars love so that more kiddos can experience these series!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
