My Students

My students and I spent this spring in distance learning and we are starting the coming year in distance learning as well. My students and I are separated by sickness, uncertainty and space; at the same time, we are united by our love, our history together and our dedication to learning. In many ways distance learning has been a struggle for my students; they are dealing with confined learning spaces, uncertain living environments and inequitable access to resources.

We are living through history.

My students are incredible people. They come with tenacity, creativity, and a wide variety of experiences and gifts. We work hard every day as scholars, artists, critical thinkers, and friends.

My Project

This week we started our new school year--apart. It's been wonderful to see my students and work with them and start building our community. Certain things have been harder, for sure. One of the things I miss the most is watching my students fall in love with my classroom library. Over the years I have been able to stock it with relevant and engaging graphic novels, fiction and non-fiction. I would love to give my students some engaging books to read during our Distance Learning.

"Books are a uniquely portable magic," said Stephen King.

Help me transport some magic to my students' homes. Each of my students will get two recently-published, engaging graphic novels, "Sci-Fu," "Twins" and "When Stars Are Gathered," all of which have diverse main characters. I'm so excited to bring my library to my students. Thank you for considering this project.
