My Students

My students are from all over the Baton Rouge area. They all come from several different cultures with different values. Each student will benefit from the books they've chosen because they will share a space to talk about them as well as read each other's books

My Project

By having books that the students chose, available to them, I hope to harbor love and interest in reading. Hopefully, students will take interest in new authors and also be interested in each others' books if they decide to trade. They will also have space to introduce their books to each other and talk about their books. We're going to try to have a book club after their individual reading time in class. The students did a little bit of research when choosing their books so they will be able to make more connections.
