My Project

My students come from a wide array of backgrounds, cultures, and home life. The books in their classroom should speak to them, and they should be able to read about characters that are like them. By having a wide range of books from authors of different backgrounds, race, ethnicity, orientation, my students will have the opportunity to find themselves in literature. Not only this, but they will be able to learn more about the people around them in the world, with the hopes of fostering and cultivating respect, empathy and love for all.

Students deserve to have literature at their disposal at all times.

They deserve to have a choice in what they read so that reading does not become simply an avenue for getting grades. Help me to cultivate a love for reading for my 7th grade students!
