My Project
My 7th and 8th grade self-contained students have a variety of unique skills, strengths, and needs. My 8th grade class just finished reading "The Bully" by Paul Langan, and all loved it. They would love to read the book that is centered around one of the main characters in the Bully, "The Gun." While reading this book, students were hooked on the story, and also developed their reading skills. As for my 7th grade class, my students love to reading about exciting stories as well, and would absolutely love A Long Walk to Water.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
