My Students

My students come from a variety of backgrounds. Our school is in very rural area. Many of my students are at or below the poverty line. My students do not have the opportunities to experience the outside world as much as other students.

I want to ensure that my students have every available opportunity as any other student.

I'm hoping that I can help expand my students' horizons by allowing them to explore enriching texts. I want my students to be able to gain understanding and experiences from others as they read these wonderful books!

My Project

My students will be able to dive into STEM topics through some wonderful texts. I want my students to really enjoy and come to love Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math while also allowing them to expand their love for reading.

The books in this grant will really allow my students to explore ideas that they would not be exposed to otherwise.

These marvelous books will open so many doors for my students' future. I know these books will really inspire my students to take control of their own learning and future by allowing them to interact with interesting characters that they will be able to relate to on a personal level.
