My Students
I work in a school where 47 different languages are spoken. I teach the most wonderful students. They are bright, engaged, and ready to learn even when they face large obstacles every day, such as homelessness, poverty, family hardships, and hunger. Our school qualifies for all students to receive a free breakfast and lunch every day. My students come from families who know the importance of education and have worked hard to get their child to where they are now.
My Project
Research shows that students grow as readers when they are reading with 98% accuracy. Each student reads different books depending on their ability level. This means that each student needs their own personal library. They need a place to put these books, something they can bring with them everywhere they go and a place to keep their books. I am asking for a seat sack to place on the back of their chairs to have a place to keep their favorite reads. These books will be used for years and years to come. Even though each seat sack is pricey, it is durable and even flame retardant, just in case!
One goal this year, is for students to invest in their reading lives.
We will kick off year by celebrating all the hard work they have done to become the readers they are today and we will get pumped up to set goals and take charge of our reading lives. Students are moving from being read to by their parents to staying up late with a flashlight to finish their books. Students will be given this seat sack to cherish and to take care of the books they are falling in love with!
