My Project

I am so lucky to be working with motivated students who want to take books home to read! We currently have class sets, and we could read in class, but doing so would really slow down the pacing. Honors students hate to be slowed down! It's not that I want to overload the students with hours of homework; rather, I would like to give the students some flexibility and autonomy in their reading. Having a copy for each student will enable them to take their books home (and even to study halls and other parts of the school building during their day!) and read at their own pace.
