I teach 8th Grade English Language Arts at Duval Charter School at Westside. Our students come from various families but not all of them have had positive educational experiences. My goal is to create a flexible classroom where students can discover a personalized area where they can learn best. Creating a reading nook allows students a more relaxed area specifically for reading. The goal is to change the stigma of reading being "boring" and open up new exciting adventures. Any help is greatly appreciated! Today's readers... future leaders!
