My Students

My students are imaginative and fun-loving kids. They have a fierce love of reading, even though materials are limited. They come from low-income households and have not had much experience with the world outside their small community.

Many of my students don't have the ability to read and learn online.

Many depend on worksheet packets and whatever books they have at home. Despite the hardships they are facing with school being closed, they are eager learners.

My Project

Now more than ever, it is important for children to be able to see themselves in the books that they read. For children to have a good viewpoint of who they are and where they come from, it must be evident in what they are learning.

All children need to see that people and cultures are different than their own, and that it's okay!

These materail will enable children to have positive images about their history and those around them. These materials will be used for independent reading, class read alouds, author studies as well as social studies. They will also be used for Social Emotional Learning.
