My Students

Our school is in a rural area where students are bussed in from great distances. These students all come from different areas but when they get to our school all of those differences slip away. They are united in their wish to be a learning community based on respect. They support each other in the classroom and outside of the classroom in activities and athletics.

Our kids want to learn about the world around them.

They want to grow and explore and we want to be able to provide them with new experiences.

My Project

My goal is turn reluctant readers into voracious readers. To get kids pumped up about reading I need to give them access to a wide variety of books.

I have a bookcart where students can choose from many different genres of books and kids have been requesting more graphic novels.

They love being able to read great stories and see the imaginative illustrations that highlight the author's ideas and purpose.

Graphic novels are a great way to spark the curiosity of students who say that they don't like to read. How can anyone pass up the opportunity to pick up a great story with amazing pictures!
