Help! Need new leveled books due to IKE

My students need leveled reading books for reading workshop.

Dear Donors, I am a second grade teacher with 22 students in my class. I teach at a public school that serves students in grade K-3. In an effort to assist my students with being successful with learning, I would love to have some leveled readers in my classroom for the students to read. The number of disadvantaged and high-needs students increases with new students enrolling weekly due to our area being effected by hurricane Ike. The students in my class range in age from 6 to 8 years old. I have to say my job is the ABSOLUTE best job in the world!

Everyday I am getting displaced students from Hurricane Ike. We do not have enough books in my classroom to teach these children how to read. Every child needs books on their level to read and take home.

It would be wonderful if I could get more leveled readers for my students. I want to give these displaced students the best education. They need a place that is welcoming and can accommodate them.

Once again I thank you for reading my proposal. I really appreciate your support, and I looking forward to your helping my students learn to read.

Mrs. S.
Grades PreK-2
