My Students

My students are our future leaders of tomorrow; they are loving and full of life. These students have so much potential but not a lot of financial support which result in them not having or can afford to bring the necessary supplies or have the adequate technology needed to help us get through learning during these unprecedented times.

I believe that not because my students have financial constraints it does not mean they can't learn or have the ability to engrossed in a good book.

I think that if we get the necessary funding we will continue to flourish as future leaders and enhance our academic learning. These students have so much potential and just need the assistance to help us attain success.

My Project

These books will make a tremendous difference in our daily routines, Being that they are early readers they have a spark when looking at books. Reading plays an intricate part of our day and having books that will help to enhance our library will completely change the dynamics of the classroom where reading is concern.

Many students do not have the luxury to have a computer at home where they can read digital prints so having these rich texts within the classroom will make a major difference.

Therefore these books will help them not only to see themselves within rich text but to help them to blossom as readers. I want them to realize that reading can take them to many places far more than they can imagine.
