My Project

This classic explores two different socioeconomic worlds of two boys. It provides students a look at worlds they have not previously explored and learn an appreciation of the class system and its impacts on people. We're requesting for our donation project are carefully chosen to make a tangible difference in the lives of underprivileged students. Shared reading experiences, for instance, play a pivotal role in providing these students with different perspectives and a broader sense of the world. Through the novel we plan to introduce, they will not only acquire new skills but also gain a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Having a book you can hold in the classroom while reading in literature circles provides immeasurable benefits to a classroom.

Beyond reading, our students will participate in analytical projects that not only enhance their understanding of the material but also develop their analytical and communication skills.
