My Students

My very diverse and dynamic group of middle school students are located on the Eastside of Detroit.

Sharing items will be a lot harder this year.

My students do not have many books at their disposal. They are in need of books that will motivate them to get back to reading. They have been home with technology for the past year and a half. Let's help promote the love of books and reading.

My Project

My student will hopefully develop a love for reading and a desire to pick one up for information or entertainment. Turn off the tv and pick up a good book.

Students will be allowed to take the books home with them or they can read them during class when done with work or just rotation..

Students can read with each other during rotation time. My girls and boys really enjoy reading with 2 or 3 people in a group. They will also have the opportunity to read by themselves.

Please help us increase our classroom library.
