My Students

As we embark on a new school year, this one is incredibly different than any other. With whether we are going back in person or staying virtual, my incoming scholars will need resources and supplies to help instruction and learning take place, regardless of location. The scholars I serve are from low-income families. Often times my scholars have seen and dealt with traumas. Our school community is working hard to build relationships between school-home-businesses to work together to educate and grow our scholars.

Knowing this group of scholars from seeing them at school every day last year, this group of scholars are eager and thrive when they have the resources available to them.

I already know this group of scholars will be the most special group of kids I have taught in my career. Building a family community and a safe place will be crucial. We will embark on this school year together.

My Project

For most of my scholars, they do not have books at home. During this pandemic and virtual learning, scholars are craving access to great books like we have in the classroom. With these books, scholars will be able to "rent", "read", and "return" great books. The goal of this is to build and continue to build a love of reading across our classroom community. For my scholars, they love to be taken on a journey to a new fictional world when reading. With this project being funded, scholars will continue to build their reading skills.
