My Students

My students are a group of individuals who represent a typical rural community in Northeast Georgia. Many of my students do not have the means to purchase their own supplies, as our school is a Title I School. Our middle school is an integral piece of the community because our students depend on ways that the school can help them.

My students do not let their circumstances dictate their life choices, instead they come to school ready to learn so that they can make a difference in the world.

My students believe in the power of education and the way that education can effect change in individuals, families, and communities because they have seen this change happen in their own lives. I am encouraged every day by their hard work and endurance.

My Project

These materials will make a difference in my students' learning because they will reinvigorate our classroom bookshelf, a place students visit when they are in need of some new and diverse book options. We use our class bookshelf as a space to try out new young adult reads to see if we'd like to try to order several copies for students to use as book clubs.

My students believe they have the ability to change the world and they need literature that supports them in this belief.

The works on this shopping list will help us begin our year fresh next year with some written encouragement.
