My Project

Middle school is such an unbearably hard time for so many. My goal in teaching middle school is to make it a little less difficult while giving my students the resources they need to succeed. I teach at a Title I school, which means that the majority of our students qualify for free and reduced-price lunch.

When home life is turbulent, I want my classroom to be a place where students are able to relax and feel at home.

I pride myself on my classroom library and take lots of time to vet the books and even read them myself. Each book in my library is meticulously catalogued so students can easily find the perfect book for them. My library is color coded but not by reading level, instead, by an experience in the book. Many of my students have told me they hate reading because none of it applies to them. My goal is to change that.

Currently my classroom is dominated by less recently published books, and according to the software I use to manage my library, seriously needs books published in the last 3 years.

These are the books that were most recommended to me based off of my student population and their reading levels. I look forward to using these books in my classroom to help students with their non-fiction comprehension, and learn a little fun stuff a long the way :)
