My Students

I have a wide range of reading levels and interests in my class. I'd like to engage the reluctant readers and inspire the avid readers with the classic novel "A Wrinkle in Time."

My class of curious fifth graders is packed with motivated learners who want to know more about the world around them.

We are a Title I school in a highly urban area of California. The students come to school every day ready to learn and appreciate the resources we are able to provide, but those resources that the school can supply are fewer and fewer each year as the budget shrinks. We would like a classroom set of a novel we can read and share together.

My Project

Childhood is the time to instill a lifelong love of reading. What better way to do that than with the classic novel, "A Wrinkle in Time"? We will read the novel together, discuss, and share ideas and insights. Help us embark on this fantastical journey and spark the imaginations of a class full of inquisitive fifth graders.

By providing this set of books, you will open up a new world of reading that many, if not most, of the students have not yet discovered.

It is exciting to watch students discover a new author and then seek other books by that author or books in the same genre. I hope to inspire students to appreciate a classic and find a new genre to enjoy.
