My Students

My sixth grade class is an integrated co-teaching model comprised of thirty students with and without disabilities.

My students are open-minded, kind, empathetic, compassionate, and excited to learn when they come into the classroom.

Books are transformative and greatly impactful to their lives. They love to read, and they are known for getting sucked into a good book. They are always hungry to get more great books to read, and are always asking for recommendations for what to read next!

My Project

My students adore graphic novels. I feel like I can never keep them on the shelf! However, they also help students practice important reading strategies.

I would love to have more accessible and appropriately leveled graphic novel series in my classroom library.

When one of my students loves a book, they are hungry to read more. With this project, I would be able to provide partner copies of three popular and appropriately leveled graphic novels for my students. This would allow me to help them better practice the reading strategies we teach in class across stories that go on for several books. This would give my students the confidence to practice strategies in texts they are comfortable with.
