My Students

My school has a diverse group of students including a large number of Somalian refugee students, a dozen new to country students this year alone, and many students that qualify for free or reduced lunch. Many of my students are reading below grade level and are reluctant to read large chapter books. However, they will reread their favorite graphic novels and illustrated chapter books over and over again.

I want to make sure that all students have access to books they already love and new books that they will love.

Graphic novels are a great way to get students addicted to reading.

My Project

My students have requested drawing and origami books for the library. I am also trying to establish a makerspace in my media center. I hope to expand my makerspace a little each year.

My goal is to foster a love of creativity and hands-on crafting activities, as well as create a safe, creative community space for students to share their creative endeavors and learn new ones.

I want the media center to be a fun place to spend time with books, creativity, and other students. I want students to work together to create beautiful things, or silly ones. Thank you!
