My Students

My students love experiencing new things and they truly understand their literary education is key to understanding the world and themselves. I teach senior English to 100+ students from all walks of life. We are a small school in a town with little job opportunity or advancement. We experience the world at large through literature.

My students are curious, entertaining, and have a true love of reading.

They love to learn about other people, places, and times through reading. It can be hard to get students, especially seniors, to focus and stick with one thing for longer than a class period, but I love that my students encourage me to continue with our important work through reading.

After school was cancelled, in March, multiple students contacted me to say, thank you, for exposing them to the book we were reading in class ("The Hate U Give", by Angie Thomas). Which we had access to because it was a donor's choose project product fulfilled for our classroom.

My Project

These materials will be used to help my students gain experience into other worlds, places, and lives they might not otherwise be able to see. We live in a rural, Arkansas area with little to know outside exposure of other places and cultures. My students yearn to "see" and "experience" other places and times. Books are the best and easiest way to accommodate that learning. I want to give my students every opportunity to gain new experiences and, maybe, escape all the noise coming at them, right now, in the world.
