My Students

Our elementary is a suburban school with mixed demographics. Approximately 25% of students come from low-income families. Many students live in apartments, or in single parent homes and blended families. Two of the students have a parent in prison, and two have a deceased parent. The average test scores for language arts are only 60%. Low-test score concerns have caused a big push to increase reading fluency and comprehension.

I want to introduce my students to the love of reading by using genres that teach equity and diversity.

Using 6th grade level books, I make reading fun by having weekly Book Club meetings! We eat lunch together, I provide a treat, and we talk books! I love how much the students enjoy the Book Club and how excited they get about reading!

We have a hybrid schedule and the students only come to school four days per week. The students need access to books they can take home to read the books during the remote days. Your donation will help promote literacy in our school. Thank you for helping us!

My Project

I want to purchase a set of books of called, "The Forgotten Girl" to teach my students about the racial injustices that were caused by segregation in schools in the south. This is a compelling mystery of two kids that discover a segregated cemetery, where all of the deceased have been forgotten. It is an inspiring, and thought provoking story. The young students try to teach their community to embrace these segregated lost souls, while teaching that inclusion is vital in today's society.

This is a fabulous educational tool to teach young people about the how difficult segregation was in the past.

This story teaches why racial equality, and acceptance through diversity, are the right of every human being. I want my students to read this story, to gain a better understanding of racial inequalities in the past.

In the 6th Grade, we learn about Ancient World civilizations, and current day World goverment systems. This story brings the subject of segregation to light, and opens the door for discussion. It is important for students to learn about areas of the world that still segregate, and why change is needed.
