My Students

The students in my class and school come from a diverse socioeconomic background. Many students don't have the opportunity to have books at home.

I hope to share many books at various levels with my students without having to worry about contamination touching books.

Unfortunately, due to Covid, my students will no longer be able to get books from my classroom library. They have very few books at home and will benefit greatly from a variety of books downloaded on a Kindle.

My Project

My students come from many different types of homes. Many of the homes they come from don't have access to a wide variety of books to read. Having COVID will impact them even more as they will not be able to borrow from me or go to the library to get books to read that are on their level.

Having digital books on the Kindle is great as they can read books without having to worry about touching others' books and I can assign them books that are appropriate to them.
