Building Bridges, Opportunities and Miracles....Through a Book!
Funded Sep 21, 2016
I want to say thank you for funding this project. My students and I are very appreciative of your generosity. Because of you my students will be able to have some rich literature in their hands. Also my students will be able to see that people care about them and want them to be successful.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Trotter

So my students do not like to read for leisure and through a survey I learned that they don't feel that they can relate to some of the texts that are recurred for them to read. I choose to find a book that my students can relate to and use that text to guide our learning. The book Miracle Boys discusses the loss of parents, family being incarcerated, and trying to become successful with difficult circumstances. My students and I will read this book together and I will teach my 6th grade standards using this book. Afterwards, we will create a brochure to tell the story of our school. A lot of community leaders do not believe in our students and their abilities and I want to prove them wrong. Our brochures will show how we will build bridges with our school and community. This will allow my students to show what they know and their potential no matter what the circumstances. I need a classroom set of books so students can read and take home the book to practice their reading and writing skills.
