About My Students

Our students have so much potential, but lack the ability to communicate it. We are hopeful that with this project we can launch into learning our English and Writing skills at a whole new level.

Our students desire more in their learning routine! Just plodding through a textbook is not always the best solution for learning. Hopefully by utilizing some out of the box techniques, such as Fluency Plays and Poetry readings, we can progress faster and improve our grades!

The skills to succeed in life are all based upon being able to communicate. By enhancing our language skills, writing ability and fluency we can have a brighter future. Being able to read at any level is important, and being able to communicate clearly is also a skill that we do not want to overlook. In the future, whether we attend college or just go straight into the workforce, being able to speak and read will be some the best preparation.

In Their Own Words

"I think the main goal in life is to do the very best with what you have available. I know that with these added materials we will have more available resources to work towards our end goals of being better readers and leaders!" - Shelby "With new materials to learn from I know I will have more fun in class." - Emma

"I hope to be able to encourage the community to fund our project. I know there are a lot of people out there who want to help classrooms like ours. I can't wait to see all the support we can get." - Logan "I love helping!" - Cathy

"I hope to help our school get better grades. Test scores are important." - Colton "We get really bored just reading out of a huge book. I know this will help us learn by getting us more involved. That will make us smarter." - Danielle
