My students are third graders from a diverse socioeconomic background in Long Beach. Many of them come to school hungry for food and hungry for knowledge. Our school is filled with dedicated teachers that treat our students with love and warmth. I want my students to have the same opportunities that any other third grader has regardless of economics or family support. Many of my students do not have access to technology at home. My students love coming to school and love learning. They have been particularly inspired during our writing workshop time and daily ask me, "How will we publish our books?" "When will we publish our books?" These questions have lead me to this project request.
