@kristenanniebell : Our next of #10featuredteachers round 2 is Erin! Here’s her story: “My name is Erin Munley and I teach in West Virginia. I work in a Title 1 school where so many of our kids qualify for free or reduced lunch that we provide for breakfast and lunch for every child! I have been blessed enough to work with amazing, thoughtful, smart high schoolers, but what they honestly need most is books. Many of my high schoolers have given up on reading and chalked it up to "boring" or just something they don't see a lot of value in. I am trying to change that by bringing back daily, routine, independent reading for my kids. So, the thing that my room needs most is books that they actually *want* to read. Books are expensive and I've been able to build a decent classroom library, but it definitely isn't serving every interest and it adds up very quickly as I try to piece it together when I have a little extra cash. And sometimes when I don't necessarily have extra cash--last year I spent $40 on the rest of a series on a tight budget week because one of my most reluctant readers finished the first book (the only book he had read to completion in at least 7 years) and had asked if I had the next one. He was so enthusiastic about it that I just couldn't let him down. So, my classroom wishlist is just that: Books my kids will enjoy, have asked for, represent their backgrounds, and give them voices. Books that even my most reluctant readers can dig into.” A love of reading is something we can support so please check out Erin’s wishlist (in my bio) and help her out! Thank you!! 🍎🛒😎📚💙
