My Project

Covid-19 kept our students separated and digital. Learning to read well and read consistently can make a huge difference for students' potential academic and life success. We know that reading in front of the screen differs from reading material off of the paper. It is why students need books in their hands.

Having interesting and quality literature in the hands of students is vital to their learning.

We want to be sure that students have the opportunity to hold a personal copy of the class reading material. The books requested relate to multiple English Language Arts Common Core standards to help students work on reading comprehension, inferencing, point of view, and many more. Holding an actual book in hand and having class discussions would better engage students, improve comprehension, and become future leaders.

Being apart for so long, the added craft materials will allow students to be more hands-on, express their creativity, and help their mental well-being.
