My Students

The students at my school are eager to learn and grow as lifelong leaders. Our students are learning to be leaders through the Leader in Me program that our school has participated in for over 5 years. They love reading and writing, however, they are struggling with literacy skills after a year and a half of distance learning. The students set goals for themselves in their Leadership Binders that can include anything from learning more sight words, to reading more books, or improving their comprehension skills. Due to Covid 19, they have struggled to play catch up with these basic skills. Their learning and social/emotional growth was greatly impacted by distance learning, and I know they are all working very hard this year to close these gaps.

My Project

These books will help replenish the books our school library lost due to Covid 19, and distance learning. The books range in ability from Kindergarten all the way to 5th grade. The books will help teach all the Nevada Academic Content Standards in Literacy for K-5 in each classroom. Students will have a variety of new books to check out, and replacements for books that were lost. Our students love the library and love reading. These books will help all the students fulfill that love for literacy. I know that with the addition of these new books, we will see many happy, smiling faces, with a book in each child's hand.
