Funded Jan 17, 2025Thank you SO much for giving my students the opportunity to explore future career pathways through literature. Living in a rural area of Appalachia Ohio, many of our students have limited access to what careers exists in our community. It has been such a fun experience seeing the joy, inspiration and interest light up during this project. So many of my students were eager to learn and share about careers choices.
Reading looks different in my classroom than most. I am the STEAM educator, so we focus on hands on lessons that require critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills. This project looked a little different because we added a research portion that required reading and studying a specific career FIRST, before we started our reporting process. Each student was excited to choose their own book from the career choices.
I have since, added the books to my classroom library where they are being used daily by our K-6 students for accelerated reading and comprehension projects. I am so proud of them and thankful to have these books added to our shelves!!!!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Buckler
