My Students

My students are just now beginning their middle school years. This is a considerable time of change for my students. They are attending a new school, experiencing a lot of growth, and wrapping their heads around their individuality.

My students are focused on community, diversity, and academic growth.

They are eager to learn and grow as individuals.

My Project

I have a handful of students who have shown great interest in learning about WW1 and WW2. Cultivating a love for reading can be an indicator to educators that students are growing and owning their education.

When students who typically do not like to read request specific books they want to read, it is important that we have those resources for our at risk population of learners.

I am hopeful that this project will be funded so that my students are able to take their love for a specific subject and grow their love for reading as a result of seeing the options available to them concerning a passion of theirs.
