My Project

I am hoping to engage my middle school students in reading. I have requested several book sets, as well as some classroom supplies, to help my students develop a love for reading. My students come from lower-income families; some have had very few resources to help them complete high school, so sparking their interest in learning is crucial at a young age. The books I have requested are sets I have read in the past with my classes. We did not have enough for each student to have their own, so I am hoping to add to the collection. I believe it is essential for each student to feel they own the classroom, with their books to read.
