My Students

My middle school classroom is filled with English language learners representing many nations and cultures. My students vary in their levels of English proficiency. Several of the students are new arrivals to this country and are just learning to introduce themselves. Others have been learning the English language for a number of years and tackling advance grammar and concepts.

For many of my students, learning English is just one of the many challenges they have faced in their short lives.

Several have lived through natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. Others have faced political turmoil and violence. The one thing they all have in common is a desire to be successful and to make their families proud.

My Project

My English learners are not often excited to read. However, reading is key to increasing their vocabulary and improving their English skills. Their biggest complaints are that books are boring, or all good books are checked out of the library.

I asked my students to make a dream list of books that they would be excited to read to create a library for our classroom.

I have also included a shelf to store and display books to give the students easy access. I am hoping that having their dream library available will spark an interest in reading that continue to burn throughout their lives.
