My Students
As a whole, the students at Ben Franklin are the kindest, most respectful, and most diligent students that I have ever worked with. These students come from an array of backgrounds; they are here from regions all over the world, speaking a multitude of different languages, and they, clearly through their attitudes towards leaning, understand the value of hard work to get ahead and succeed. These students may not have all the tools economically, but they have the grit it takes to become a successful and impactful 21 century citizen of our world.
My Project
Studies show that reading, more so than math and science, is the most important skill that students learn in school. Furthermore, the best method to foster growth in reading is for students to read 30 minutes each day at their reading level. We have some books, but not enough at the range of levels that meet my students varying needs. So, my thought is to give these students the timeless tools of literature so that they can be the best they can be with the power of reading using books that they can understand.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
