My Students

My students are working hard to do school in such a crazy time. They are learning to communicate with me through email, or in Zoom meetings. They are driving up to the school to pick up a physical copy of a textbook when they realize that that is what they need to learn best.

I am so proud of my students as they show up first thing in the morning, still in pajamas, to join my class together on Zoom.

They maintain a sense of humor; they humor me by answering my trivia questions. They send me pictures for my "Pet of the Week" contest. They are good kids who deserve the best I can give them.

My Project

At the beginning of the school year, my students chose books about race and diversity to read during asynchronous time at home or in school. I am so inspired by the important conversations they've been having. They are excited about reading, talking about the issues and deciding what can be done to improve the situation.

Since they've heard about all of these great books about race and diversity, I would love for them to be able to check them out of my classroom library.

Most of students aren't able to purchase books on their own.
