My Students

Our students come from varying backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. There are about 400 students in our school in grades Pre-K through grade 5. 77% of our students live at the poverty level. 42% of our students are English Language Learners. We have a 50% transiency rate.

It is imperative that we give our students unique experiences as they face many challenges.

We hope to instill in our students the love of reading by giving them access to multiple resources around literacy!

My Project

At our school we have a variety of students that read at many different levels. With these books we hope to engage them in books they are interested in with topics that they want to learn more about. We hope to integrate these books into their learning of science and social studies.

We can use the informational copies of these books to work with students in small groups to build their content knowledge as well as excite them to read for information.

The students will have a common understanding of a content area as they are reading the same book.
