"I teach Spanish II/III in a small, rural, Title I, all inclusion, Texas school. I have approximately 67 students in my classes. We have very few books of interest in our school library. Although I have requested several resources in the past, there have not been any funds for Spanish. We need all the help we can get to make sure our students get the opportunity for the success they deserve.

Currently, our school offers Spanish but no other languages. Students have expressed a desire to expand their language abilities but resources are not available. Many of the native Spanish Speakers would like to take German or Latin. It would be wonderful to encourage them to prepare for college if resources were available.

I would also love to increase parent involvement in the Spanish community if only I had resources available for disposal.

I believe that with the following resources our students would increase their chances of being successful in college. We need one of each of the following books for our language library: Enciclopedia Quod Editors of Larousse, Enciclopedia Estudiantil Ilustrada Alberto Fuentes, Enciclopedia Pooh-Insectos Disney, Disney Walt, Enciclopedia Pooh - El Agua Disney, Enciclopedia Pooh - El Cielo Disney, Enciclopedia Pooh - La Tierra Disney, Enciclopedia Pooh - Las Estaciones Disney, Enciclopedia Pooh - Las Plantas Disney, Disney Mi primera Enciclopedia de Winnie the Pooh: Reptiles y anfibios (My Very First Encyclopedia with Winnie the Pooh and Friends: Reptiles and Amphibians) Ana Gertrudis Rejala (Editor), Alexandra Romero Cortina (Translator), Based On Work by A.A. Milne, Based On Work by E.H. Shepard, Diccionario De Sinonimos, Antonimos E Ideas Afines Editors of Larousse (Mexico) (Editor), Gloria Fuentes S, Prologue by Francisco Petrecca, Santa Biblia: 1960 Reina-Valera Revision and King James Version, Imitation peil vino (Burgundy Imitation Leather) Staff of Broadman & Holman Publishers, Nueva Concordancia Strong Exhaustiva James Strong , Spanish Made Simple Judith Nemethy, Scott Nurkin (Illustrator) , German Made Simple: Learn to Speak and Understand German Quickly and Easily Arnold Leitner, Ph.D., Adolph Geiger, Robert D. Vanderslice, Arnold Leitner, , Latin Made Simple: A Complete Introductory Course in Classical Latin Doug Julius , Hola! Communicating with Spanish-Speaking Parents Good Good Apple, Good Apple, and ABeCedarios: Mexican Folk Art ABCs in Spanish and English Cynthia Weill, K. B. Basseches, Moises Jimenez (Illustrator)

Although there are many well deserved projects, I ask that you consider this school project. Many of these students will become the first in several generations to go to college. No donation is too big or small. Thanks in advance. Gracias y Dios le bendiga. HIDE

My students need a variety of 17 foreign language texts to create a language library. The cost of this proposal is $352, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."
