My Students
My scholar-athletes from North East Washington D.C. are some of the hardest working dedicated young men I have had the honor of working with in my 20 years of education. They are members of our school's middle school basketball and baseball teams and spend three to four hours a day; participating in study hall, conditions and weights, and practicing. Many of our scholar-athletes have never played an organized sport before, but our teams consistently make the city playoffs, and most of our scholar-athletes make the Honor Roll.
My Project
I am putting together a classroom library for my scholar-athletes who are participating in study hall sessions for our basketball and baseball teams. We start every study hall session with 20 minutes of sustained silent reading, the young men on my team really appreciate the silent reading when they are able to find books which grab their attention. I currently have a small library I put together using my own resources. I'm happy to see my scholar-athletes recommend and discuss books with one another. We have developed a community of readers, by adding more books to our library the community will continue to grow.
