My Students

My group this year is very special. I have 13 students in person and 7 virtually. My students are eager to learn, and they have grown fond of reading. Most of them lack the necessary supplies they need for a regular day of succeeding in school, and the only books they usually touch are the ones at school. My students would be very appreciative of new books and supplies.

My Project

Literature is one thing our children need to be exposed to. I teach my kids that the more we read, the better we will get. My students are eager to learn new things. We want to become better writers and readers. To do that we need the writing supplies and the books to read together. My goal is expose my children to a variety of books. We love to read a good story and go over the key details from beginning to end. My students will also have the privilege of taking a book home to read and bringing it back to school.
