My Project

I️ am a middle school ELA teacher in rural Missouri. I love opening my students' minds to the wondrous world of reading, but in order to do so I need to be able to present books to my students that excite and engage them. One group of students that often gets overlooked in the reading world is the agricultural and outdoorsy students. While I hope they will eventually read books outside of their comfort zone, to get started they need to be offered books within their scope of everyday life. I found these Lane Walker books last fall and have been wanting to provide them for my students since then.

These books would be available to any student in our school who is interested in reading them.

There will be a check-out system for them in my room to ensure that the books are kept track of. Help me reach this specific and often overlooked student population by supplying high-quality reads for them to enjoy!
