My Students
I work in a Title I school district with a total of 400 kids in the K-12th grades. There is a portion of my student body that receives free or reduced-price lunch. We are in a very rural area where a lot of my students get up early in the morning to do chores before school and also have afternoon chores to complete when they get home.
My students are my "kids" and I would do anything to make their learning experience better. The students that come through my doors are always welcome and I try to provide the best learning experience possible for them.
My Project
These books will add a wider variety of authors and genres to my classroom library for my students to read while in class. I teach in a very rural area and I want to make sure that my students are exposed to many different authors and their stories.
When my students walk into my room, I want them to be able to see a wide variety of books on the shelves and not feel trapped by a lack of books to read. Reading is an escape from the real world that lets students journey through time or travel to a wondrous place.
