My Students

Our school has a diverse population with a high percentage of students with Native American heritage. It is also considered a high poverty school with approximately 90% of the students receiving free or reduced-price lunches.

Do you remember visits to the library when you were young?

Exploring the shelves, looking for a book that would take you on an exciting adventure. Remember the excitement of getting to check out a book? My students are avid readers that devour all the books in our library. The students love coming to the library to get books and explore worlds outside their small community.

In this small, rural town community, our resources are low. The students depend on our school library because most do not have access to books outside of school. The students who will be in my library come to school with needs that go beyond academics. Let's create a space that allows them to feel welcome.

My Project

Most students love fiction books. My students love to read nonfiction. They love to learn exciting new real facts about the world. They also love to learn about events and activities in history. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them all year of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose a variety of books, which will help them continue to enjoy reading independently.

By donating to this project you will not only give students the joy of reading but will be expanding their knowledge of history.

These will also help to increase reading ability and vocabulary because nonfiction books usually have more academic words. These books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. This project will help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
