My Students
Our school has a diverse population with a high percentage of students with Native American heritage. It is also considered a high poverty school with approximately 90% of the students receiving free or reduced-price lunches.
Do you remember visits to the library when you were young?
Exploring the shelves, looking for a book that would take you on an exciting adventure. Remember the excitement of getting to check out a book? My students are avid readers that devour all the books in our library. The students love coming to the library to get books and explore worlds outside their small community.
In this small, rural town community, our resources are low. The students depend on our school library because most do not have access to books outside of school. The students who will be in my library come to school with needs that go beyond academics. Let's create a space that allows them to feel welcome.
My Project
We need dictionaries. It seems like you can just use a tablet or phone to find out everything you need to know. But what happens if you don't have access to a device and you need to know how to look up information or find the meaning of a word? The students need to know what to look for and how to find what they need quickly and easily.
A set of class dictionaries will help us do activities that will give students these skills.
They can also use these dictionaries to work on vocabulary skills that will increase the students reading level.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
