My Students

My students are a highly energetic group with a love and zeal for reading. They always tend to demonstrate a positive attitude despite lacking certain necessary resources that would be beneficial to them. Every child can learn and every child must; is my favorite quote and they have been living by this as well. Despite the situation they truly try to rise to be good students, with a drive and determination for learning. They have a light in then that needs to continue to glow and I want to use this opportunity to help them shine.

My Project

My students have begun to dive deeper into reading. They are aware of their reading level and would love the opportunity to have more hands on books at their level. Dr. Seuss stated, the more you read the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. I want to provide an opportunity where my students will learn through books and enjoy reading.

Reading can never be enough; by giving them this chance to read more, their vocabulary will increase, they will learn more, and their reading level will improve.
