The school I just got hired to teach at is a low income school. The resources and tools are very scarce. It is my hope to build a classroom of adventure and a safe space for students to learn.
Reading will offer an adventure for all of the students I teach!
Reading is a key tool for life but it is also not a widely accepted pastime anymore. I would love to reintroduce reading as a form of passion, entertainment, and a hobby.
This book collection will allow my entire class to work together, learn, and experience a world together.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
