My Students

My students are amazing. They live in a small town in Arizona and therefore do not have all the opportunities that come with living in a more populated area. They love life though and just want to soak up any knowledge that comes there why.

These are some of the most amazing kids I have met.

They love just about anything I can throw and them. However, they love to move and explore. They need outlets to get those motions out so we can focus and continue to feed them the knowledge that they need and want so badly.

My Project

Providing books that meet the students interest will encourage them to read more. You can't make a child read but you can lead them to books that they will want to read which will in turn improve their reading and desire to read more.

Reading can not improve without reading.

Providing books that the students want to read will help to improve the students' reading ability tremendously.

Having a variety of books that are easy to access will encourage the students to read, read, read. Bringing the students interests into reading also helps to build a connection with what they are reading and build comprehension.
